Editing Falcon 1 (section)

=== Cancelled launches ===
As part of a US$15 million contract, Falcon 1 was to carry the [[TacSat-1]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.responsivespace.com/Papers/RS2%5CSESSION%20PAPERS%5CSESSION%205%5CHURLEY%5C5003C.pdf|title=TacSat-1|website=Responsivespace.com|access-date=August 18, 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060516001544/http://www.responsivespace.com/Papers/RS2/SESSION%20PAPERS/SESSION%205/HURLEY/5003C.pdf|archive-date=May 16, 2006}}</ref> in 2005. By late May 2005, SpaceX stated that Falcon 1 was ready to launch TacSat-1 from Vandenberg. But the Air Force did not want the launch of an untested rocket to occur until the final [[Titan IV]] flew from nearby SLC 4E. Subsequent and repeated delays due to Falcon 1 launch failures delayed TacSat-1's launch. After [[TacSat-2]] was launched on an Orbital Sciences [[Minotaur I]] on December 16, 2006, the Department of Defense re-evaluated the need for launching TacSat-1. In August 2007, the Department of Defense canceled the planned launch of TacSat-1<ref>{{cite web|title=Report: Pentagon cancels TacSat-1 launch|url=http://www.spacetoday.net/Summary/3884|website= spacetoday.net|date=August 18, 2007|access-date=July 15, 2011}}</ref> because all of the TacSat objectives had been met.

An August 2005 update on SpaceX's website showed 6 launches planned for Falcon 1, with customers including MDA Corp ([[CASSIOPE]], which eventually launched in 2013 on Falcon 9), Swedish Space Corp and US Air Force.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Musk|first1=Elon|author-link=Elon Musk|date=December 20, 2005|title=June 2005 through September 2005 Update|url=http://www.spacex.com/news/2005/12/19/june-2005-december-2005|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190612024702/https://www.spacex.com/news/2005/12/19/june-2005-december-2005|archive-date=June 12, 2019|access-date=November 14, 2016|website=SpaceX News|publisher=SpaceX}}</ref>
