Tiberion Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Man I knew when the Launch Director answered "stand by" when asked for final clearance @ -2:20 that they were gonna call a hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtualCLD Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) With only a one second window, that means we will be back again on Friday (weather permitting).Edit: Man I knew when the Launch Director answered "stand by" when asked for final clearance @ -2:20 that they were gonna call a hold.I heard that and thought "Uh oh!" but since they kept going, I figured I was imagining things.

FishInferno Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 its always better to hold then to have it blow up:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aningaaq Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I had a feeling it wouldn't launch tonight. Don't know why I bothered when I could have watched the replay anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why I bothered when I could have watched the replay anyway.It's like watching a football game that you taped, when everyone else already knows the score. It's not quite the same.

Aningaaq Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Third time's a charm? Hopefully. Sadly, Elon Musk got everyone hyped up with his AMA on reddit. Of course he can't control everything but I bet he is very disappointed with this. Good luck to them on the 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airlock Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Scrubbed! According to NASAtv stream -examining actuator drift issue in the thrust vectoring system for stage 2.Looking at 5:09AM EST on Friday for next attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirocco Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 yeah, I was watching the stream too. No recovery attempt today.Ah well, patience is a virtue I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frida Space Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Yes, an actuator drift malfunction in the thrust vectoring control system for stage 2. The malfunction would have prevented the second stage from operating inside the launch parameters. The first stage was ready and nominal for launch. It seems there could be a few, smaller malfunctions, which are being evaluated right now. Hopefully everything will be ready for Friday (10:09 GMT).Countdown was interrupted at T-1 minute 21 seconds. There will be no post-scrub conference.- - - Updated - - -The Z-actuator, according to a tweet from Elon Musk Edited January 6, 2015 by Frida Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwind Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 No, this was actually made official a few days ago. Friday was the first available backup opportunity, but SpaceX decided not to take it. They chose Saturday instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
