SpaceX suspends launch of Starlink satellite due to apparent helium leak in rocket

SpaceX canceled the launch of its Starlink satellites this weekend due to a problem with one of its rockets.

The company was scheduled to launch a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 of its Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Sunday (Nov. 3), but SpaceX kept the countdown to two minutes and 36 seconds due to an apparent helium leak.
