Instead of launching the Zuma satellite Friday evening, SpaceX instead carried out more propellant loading tests. The latest update (see: http://spaceflightnow.com/2018/01/0...tatus-center-2/ [pictures were also uploaded here]) says:

Following the additional testing at the launch pad today, SpaceX has confirmed a new launch date of Sunday, January 7 for the Zuma mission.

@SpaceX
Team at the Cape completed additional propellant loading tests today. Extreme weather slowed operations but Falcon 9 and the Zuma spacecraft are healthy and go for launch—now targeting January 7 from Pad 40 in Florida.
