Feb. 09--KENNEDY SPACE CENTER -- SpaceX may try again Monday evening to launch a Falcon 9 rocket carrying a space-weather satellite after the first launch was scrubbed just before blast-off Sunday night.
Liftoff was called off with two minutes and 26 seconds remaining in the countdown because the Air Force reported problems with the radar systems needed to track the rocket's ascent.
