Hawthorne-based SpaceX has delayed its launch of the EchoStar XXIII communications satellite, due to high winds, the company said late Monday evening, and is now working towards a new launch window. SpaceX called off the launch of its Falcon 9 carrying the EchoStar XIII at 10:36 P.M. PST. The launch this time is from Launch Complex 39A at NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida. SpaceX's next launch window is on Thursday, at 10:35 P.M. PST.
