SpaceX calls off launch to 'triple-check' rocket

In a precautionary move, SpaceX decided Tuesday to postpone an overnight launch of the AsiaSat 6 commercial telecommunications satellite to "triple-check" the Falcon 9 rocket's fault detection and recovery software, according to Elon Musk, the company's founder and chief executive.

The 224-foot-tall Falcon 9 booster was already poised for liftoff from Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad. The rocket was rotated vertical on the launch pad Tuesday, hours before SpaceX released news of the postponement.
