SpaceX experienced multiple weather-related delays during the launch of its Starlink 10-30 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Initially scheduled for 1:03 a.m. ET on August 4, 2025, the Falcon 9 rocket launch was postponed several times due to persistent thunderstorms, with the final liftoff occurring at 3:57 a.m. ET. Following this, SpaceX prepared for the KF-02 mission, carrying 24 Amazon Project Kuiper satellites into low-Earth orbit, also from Cape Canaveral's pad 40. The KF-02 launch was initially planned for 10:02 a.m. ET on August 7 but was delayed multiple times, including a scrub on the day of the launch due to unspecified reasons and additional vehicle checkouts. Weather forecasts for the backup window were unfavorable, and the launch was subsequently rescheduled to no earlier than August 9, 2025.
