"Third time's a charm" - Third attempt to launch Intelsat 35e
After standing down from a launch attempt on the 4th of July, SpaceX decided to take that day to do a full re-evaluation of the rocket and the launch pad systems to ensure everything is working how it should. SpaceX will try to launch Intelsat 35e again today at 7:37pm EDT from historic Launch Complex 39a. Live broadcasts of the launch will start about 15 minutes before launch.

SCRUB: 24-hour recycle of the launch of Intelsat 35e
In the final seconds of the countdown, the flight computer of the Falcon 9 aborted the launch at T-10 seconds. The SpaceX team is assessing the data from the countdown and will hopefully find the issue that caused the abort and are planning on a 24-hour recycle. The next launch window opens tomorrow, July 3rd at 7:37pm EDT from Historic Launch Complex 39a.
Edit: Guidance Issue aborted the launch, The Falcon 9 and Satellite are both healthy.
