Falcon 9 rocket launch was canceled 13 seconds before launch
The launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 company with the Dragon spacecraft was canceled 13 seconds before launch. This was announced by the official twitter account of the ABC 13 Houston television channel.
The launch was to be carried out from the launch point LC-39A at Cape Canaveral. This was supposed to be the first launch of SpaceX after the modernization of the table. The neighboring site, LC-40 suffered after a rocket explosion on September 1, 2016 and is under repair.
The reason for the cancellation of the launch is the failure of the engine of the second stage of the launch vehicle. This information was confirmed on Twitter by the founder of SpaceX, Ilon Musk:
Most likely, another attempt to launch SpaceX will be done tomorrow, after the diagnosis and elimination of the problems.

Recall , the launch of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle was supposed to deliver to the ISS a Dragon spacecraft with cargo for an orbital station. With the participation of SpaceX, it was planned to deliver a number of cargoes: supplies for the crew, water, equipment for scientific research, including materials for conducting an experiment with muscle cells, which was developed by students of one of the US high schools. In addition, the Dragon had to return to the ground 2300 kg of cargo from the ISS.
The previous successful launch of the Falcon 9 rocket fired from the launch pad at the Vandenberg Air Force Base northwest of Los Angeles. Then SpaceX launch vehicle delivered second-generation telecommunications satellites Iridium NEXT to orbit.
