A powerful SpaceX rocket launch had to be aborted on Wednesday, 26 April.
The Falcon 9 rocket was prevented from taking off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California due to landing concerns.
It was due to send 46 Starlink V1.5 internet satellites into low-Earth orbit around 342 miles above surface.
At present there are around 3,500 Starlink satellites in orbit. The company aims to have 42,000 in future.
On Wednesday, the Falcon 9’s first stage booster was supposed land on a drone ship in the Pacific Ocean.
The attempted launch comes after SpaceX’s Starship, the largest rocket ever built, exploded 239 seconds after launch last Thursday, leaving a dramatic cloud in the sky.

“Teams will continue to review data and work toward our next flight test,” SpaceX said in a statement on Twitter.
