Falcon 9 launch v1.1 ® canceled

The countdown has aborted for today's launch attempt of SpaceX # ISScargo mission to Space_Station .- NASA (NASA) 6 January 2015

This launch was important because during his team spaceX and NASA had planned to plant the first stage rocket on a floating platform in the Atlantic Ocean. As is known, the starting level (more on rocket engines, in this case of domestic production, publications Zelenyikot ) one of the most expensive and complex elements of the missile and its controlled descent after separation and continuation of the flight opens the possibility of reuse.

Falcon 9 v1.1 ® (Eng. Reusable - reusable). After the separation of the first stage version v1.1® braked by briefly switching three of the nine engines to ensure entry into Earth's atmosphere at an acceptable speed, and then, near the surface of the earth (water) includes a central engine and stage must carry out a soft landing on the scheme fulfills the project Grasshopper. The use of reusable components (landing racks and supply of fuel) can reduce the payload from 15 to 30%. Modifying elements of the first stage:
the first stage is equipped with four pivoting landing struts used for a soft landing;
navigational equipment was installed for access to the landing point;
three engines out of nine will be used for braking and have an increased diameter of the nozzle;
on top of the first stage are set folding lattice wheels to stabilize the rotation and improved handling at the stage of decline. © wikipedia
 However, for 1 minute 21 seconds before the start of the countdown was halted, and the launch was canceled. At the moment, Twitter appears the following information:

At 1:21 before launch, a thrust vector control actuator for the Falcon 9's 2nd stage failed to perform as expected. SpaceX is evaluating.- NASA (NASA) 6 January 2015

Is there a problem with the system of thrust vector control on the second stage of the rocket # Falcon9 - RuScience (riascience) January 6, 2015
 The next attempt to start is scheduled for Friday, January 9.

Next possible launch attempt for SpaceX #ISScargo mission to Space_Station is Friday at 5:09 am EST pending resolution of the issue.- NASA (NASA ) January 6, 2015
spaceX Company was founded in 2002 by one of the creators of paypal, billionaire Elon Musk.

After a series of failures and long development spaceX able to obtain a contract from NASA worth 1.6 billion. Dollars for the delivery of goods and in-orbit delivery. In 2008, it breathed new life into this ambitious project.

It is worth noting that the problems with the launch rocket spaceX frequent phenomenon.

Looking forward to Friday, and now with the Falcon 9 rocket fuel is drained.
