The launch of EchoStar-23 by a SpaceX rocket was cancelled in the early hours of March 14th.  The launch was scrubbed some 30 minutes prior to the opening of the launch window.

A message from SpaceX talked of the launch attempt “standing down due to high winds”. There was no firm information as to the next attempt.

Reports say that the next potential launch date is March 16th, at 1.35am Florida time.
