SpaceX launch cancelled due to High Chamber Pressure. Would take off again in 72Hrs!

The much awaited commercial rocket company, SpaceX has aborted its launch of the first commercial rocket to space. The reason is said to be a change in the pressure in one of the chambers in Engine 5 before it lifted off for the first trip to space.

The SpaceX has been making waves lately among the crowd and has created enough attention, since its the first commercial rocket that is expected to change the future of space travel. When every single human waited for the launch in Cape Canaveral, the mission was aborted at the neck of the moment when the countdown had just 0.5 seconds before lift.

The engines were igniting and then, to our dismay, it was cut off due to the high pressure in the engine chamber. Due to this high pressure, the computer automatically shut itself off before takeoff and the company was lucky that this happened well before anything went out of the hand.

SpaceX has scheduled the next launch to happen in the next 72 hours, which should be Tuesday at 3:44 AM EDT. The information was initially revealed on Twitter by the company’s founder, Mr. Elon Musk, which read:

Launch aborted: slightly high combustion chamber pressure on engine 5. Will adjust limits for countdown in a few days.

 We will be watching the next launch closely, and we wish we could witness this amazing historical event in the history of mankind!
