Sunday’s Falcon 9 launch has been postponed:
“Standing down from this weekend's launch attempt to conduct additional testing on the fairing’s pressurization system. Once complete, and pending range availability, we will confirm a new targeted launch date.“ - SpaceX
This will be the 4th Falcon 9 launch of the year (and the 50th over all !).
It’ll be carrying the Hipasat communications satellite, which is a heafty 6 tonnes.
They’re still going to try to recover the first stage and the landing ship has left port already.

Thursday's Atlas V mission profile:

It's in the 541 configuration, so a 5.4 m fairing, 4 solid boosters and 1 engine on the Centaur upper stage.
GOES-S is a weather satellite for NOAA & NASA. It's designed for a 15 year life, but the first 5 will be as back up for its predecessor.
