SpaceX Targeting Thursday Launch Of Falcon 9 Block 5

Cape Canaveral,Fla. (970 WFLA)-SpaceX is targeting Thursday for liftoff of its new version of the Falcon 9 Rocket. 

The launch window opens at 4:12 p.m. for the Block 5, which will be carrying a communications satellite for Bangladesh. The U.S. Air Force is forecasting an 80-percent chance of favorable weather conditions at Kennedy Space Center. 

The launch had been scheduled for yesterday but was pushed back as SpaceX reviewed data from last Friday's test-firing of the rocket's main engines.
