SpaceX rocket delayed for launch due to extremely bad weather

SpaceX is keeping itself safe and taking all the necessary precautionary measures to achieve a successful rocket launch.  SpaceX has delayed the launch of its Falcon 9 rocket to January 14, 2017, due to winds and rain expected near the launch site in California over the next week.

SpaceX initially planned to launch the Rocket 9 on January 9, 2017. Due to weather conditions in the rocket launching site, the company rescheduled the launch of Falcon 9 Rocket after 5 days from its original plan. The company will launch the rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base.

According to International Business Times, SpaceX is bouncing back with its Falcon 9 rocket that will be soon heading for a successful launch and make its respective purpose. The report states that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Monday reauthorized SpaceX's Commercial Space Transportation License for the return to flight of its Falcon 9 rocket that's set to launch with 10 Iridium Next satellites.

"The FAA accepted the investigation report on the Amos-6 mishap and has closed the investigation," FAA spokesman Hank Price said in a statement. "SpaceX applied for a license to launch the Iridium NEXT satellites from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The FAA has granted a license for that purpose."

Iridium Communications states that due to high winds and rain in the forecast at Vandenberg Air Force Base, the first launch of 10 Iridium NEXT satellites is planned for January 14th at 9:54:34 am PST with a back-up date of January 15th.

According to Los Angeles Times, the Falcon 9 rocket will carry 10 satellites for Iridium Communication Inc. that is reported to establish a constellation of satellites to deliver mobile communications capabilities on land and on ships and airplanes.

It is reported that the Falcon 9 launching was hoped to launch in November, but the investigation of last year's explosion delayed the expectations of chief executive, Elon Musk, the Hawthorne-based SpaceX.
