Dubai: Bad weather delayed the lift-off of Dubai’s Earth observation nanosatellite DEWA-SAT 2 on a SpaceX rocket, for the third time, on Friday.

The launch of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA)’s 6U nanosatellite by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA was put on hold right ahead of final countdown due to unfavourable weather conditions.

The next launch attempt would be at 10.47am here on April 15, according to SpaceX.
