Timing TBD on second Falcon 9 static fire

SpaceX will not attempt a second static fire of its Falcon 9 engines today.

The company has not announced when a second test will be performed at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

The rocket's nine first-stage engines fired around 1 p.m. today but cut off early.

It is not immediately clear how the the need for another test might affect plans to launch the Falcon 9 and Dragon spacecraft Tuesday on a NASA demonstration flight.
