Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) scrubbed Wednesday morning’s AsiaSat 6 launch, company spokesman John Taylor said, about 13 hours before liftoff.

Launch was to take place at 12:50 a.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. Taylor did not give a reason nor plans for rescheduling the launch, but said he’d provide more information when able. SpaceX was originally scheduled to launch Tuesday at 12:50 a.m. EDT but delayed that launch until Wednesday.
