NASA shared on their blog that it "was scrubbed today due to a violation of a launch limit, resulting in a hold." It added that a second attempt is now planned for Sunday from Space Launch Complex-37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

According to NASA, its Parker Solar Probe will revolutionise the understanding of the Sun, our closest star.
