SpaceX is set to launch an Indonesian communication satellite after a third consecutive day of scrubs on Thursday.

The launch has been scrubbed due to unfavorable weather conditions for the last three days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, due to persistent rainfall and towering clouds, which forced the flight to be delayed.

SpaceX is targeting liftoff on Thursday at 7:49 p.m. EDT with a launch window ending at 10:10 pm. EDT from Florida’s Space Coast

If launched, the spacecraft Nusantara Lima, also known as N5 will deploy its communications satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit with an expected first stage booster landing aboard a drone ship.
