SpaceX scrubs year-end Falcon 9 launch again as Italy’s COSMO-SkyMed satellite waits at Vandenberg
SpaceX delayed the Falcon 9 launch of Italy’s COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation FM3 satellite from Vandenberg for a second night, citing more time needed for launch-pad checks. No new launch date was set. The mission, carrying a dual-use radar satellite for Italy’s space agency and defense ministry, was supposed to be SpaceX’s final Falcon 9 flight of 2025.
