The launch was the company’s second dedicated SmallSat Rideshare Program mission.

Tuesday’s launch was called off at T minus 11 seconds due to a “fouled range.”
SpaceX founder Elon Musk said the reason for the scrub was because a plane had entered the “keep out zone”.

Unfortunately, launch is called off for today, as an aircraft entered the “keep out zone”, which is unreasonably gigantic.
