Yesterday, SpaceX announced it was delaying its Falcon 9 Starlink satellite launch to Tuesday. However, earlier today, SpaceX says it has now pushed back the Starlink launch to Thursday, at the earliest.

“Now targeting no earlier than Thursday, March 4 for launch of Starlink due to a Range conflict and unfavorable launch and recovery weather,” explained SpaceX on Twitter.
The delay comes after SpaceX scrubbed its planned launch on Sunday, at the last minute.
The last time SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 booster for Starlink was back on February 15, when the rocket successfully sent the satellites to space, but failed to land aboard an autonomous drone ship. Since then, SpaceX has allocated extra time to ensure a successful launch.
