SpaceX is targeted to launch the SES-8 telecommunications satellite aboard a Falcon 9 rocket this Monday November 25, from Cape Canaveral. SES-8 will be SpaceX’s first launch to a geostationary transfer orbit – 80,000 km from Earth – and most challenging mission to date.


Launch window opens at 5:37pm EST on Monday. Watch the launch live at www.spacex.com/webcast.

Going to try again. Feed's back up.
EDIT- "one attempted engine start and liftoff" aborted because 'main engines were slow to ramp up power'.
EDIT 2- scrubbed for the day. 5:47pm Central.
