On July 22, the Federal Aviation Administration announced that a power outage in Santa Barbara, California, had disrupted communications at the Los Angeles Air Traffic Control Center, necessitating the postponement of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launch scheduled for that day. The outage compromised air traffic control capabilities over the Pacific Ocean airspace, prompting the delay to ensure aviation safety. The revised launch plan now targets no earlier than 11:13 a.m. on July 23 (2:13 a.m. Beijing time on July 24).
