SpaceX has announced that the SSO-A: Smallsat Express mission,
previously scheduled for November 28th, has been postponed due to
extreme high-altitude winds at Vandenberg Air Force Base. A new
launch date will be announced once coordinated with the range.

The SSO-A mission will carry several amateur radio satellites,
including AMSAT’s Fox-1Cliff, FUNcube on ESEO, JY1-SAT, K2SAT, and
ExseedSat.

The launch window each day opens at 18:31:47 UTC and extends for
approximately 30 minutes.

[ANS thanks SpaceX and AMSAT for the above information]
