Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) stood down from its first rideshare mission of 2021 earlier today as weather conditions at the United States Space Force's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida did not permit the company's Falcon 9 with a record payload of 143 satellites to liftoff.
