What's the story
Elon Musk's aerospace company SpaceX has delayed its seventh test launch of the Starship spacecraft by 24 hours owing to bad weather.
This is the second delay of the latest flight test of the world's most powerful rocket. It was first scheduled to launch on January 13.
The latest flight test is especially important as it will see a new-generation Starship attempt payload deployment, another potential milestone in SpaceX's quest to develop reusable rockets.
Rescheduling details FAA grants SpaceX launch window until January 17
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given SpaceX a launch window for Starship between January 9 and 17. If there are further delays due to refueling or other issues, the company has until Friday to go ahead with the seventh launch.
Separately, SpaceX has asked the FAA to raise its maximum number of annual Starship launches from five to 25. A decision on the proposal is expected after a public comment period ends on January 17.
