A private space company's second shot at flying its low-cost rocket into orbit could come as early as Monday after engineers successfully completed a critical pre-launch test firing of its main engine Thursday.
Developed by Space Exploration Technologies Corp., the two-stage Falcon 1 rocket currently stands ready for launch on a remote seven-acre island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
