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 blockquote>

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 blockquote>
 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 blockquote>

Is there a problem with the system of thrust vector control on the second stage of the rocket # Falcon9 - RuScience (riascience) January 6, 2015 blockquote>
 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 blockquote>
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. I>

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.
