(Bloomberg) -- The stars didn’t quite align for a record day for rocket launches.
Three missions scheduled for Tuesday were scrubbed. Elon Musk’s SpaceX postponed a launch of a Global Positioning System satellite for the U.S. Air Force from Cape Canaveral, Florida, citing a technical issue involving its rocket sensors.
United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp., still has a mission scheduled for Tuesday evening. For the others, Wednesday is now the big potential day for launches.
