WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The SpaceX aerospace manufacturer has cancelled a Falcon 9 rocket launch, SpaceX's CEO Elon Musk said.
@SpaceX Launch aborted on low thrust alarm. Rising oxygen temps due to hold for boat and helium bubble triggered alarm.

The Falcon 9 rocket was supposed to carry the SES-9 telecommunications satellite into orbit. The satellite is to provide broadcasting and other services in Asia, Indonesia and the Indian Ocean.
This is the third failed attempt to launch the Falcon 9 this week. Previously the launch was postponed on both February 24 and 25.
