A SpaceX Falcon rocket carrying Starlink satellites was scrubbed from launching at Vandenberg Space Force Base on Thursday due to unfavorable weather, with a new launch attempt scheduled for Friday.
Santa Barbara Santa Maria San Luis Obispo, CA, October 22, 2026 —
A SpaceX Falcon rocket carrying Starlink satellites did not launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Thursday after unfavorable weather led to the launch being scrubbed. A new attempt is scheduled for Friday.
The information provided does not specify which Falcon rocket was involved, how many satellites it was carrying, or the time planned for either launch attempt. It also does not describe the weather conditions or identify who made the decision to scrub the Thursday launch.
Friday’s attempt is listed as scheduled, but no outcome or further update was provided. The available information does not say whether the launch window could change, or what might happen if weather again prevents a launch.
No details were provided about the mission’s designation, the satellites’ intended orbit, or the purpose of this particular deployment. The account also does not give a precise date for Thursday or Friday. Those details therefore remain unspecified.
The reported development is limited to the delay, its stated weather-related reason and the planned date for another attempt. No launch time, additional operational details or subsequent status were included.
