StrandedonEarth Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) User Actions Follow Elon MuskVerified account@elonmusk @SpaceX Launch aborted on low thrust alarm. Rising oxygen temps due to hold for boat and helium bubble triggered alarm.

StrandedonEarth Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The first Falcon 9 launch several years went through an abort after ignition. The countdown was recycled and the rocket successfully launched later that same day, which amazed a shuttle engineer (shuttle_guy, who frequented the now-defunct space.com forums and was an incredible source of Shuttle information). From Wiki: Quote The first launch attempt occurred at 1:30 pm EDT on Friday, June 4, 2010 (1730 UTC). The launch was aborted shortly after ignition, and the rocket successfully went through a failsafe abort.[37] Ground crews were able to recycle the rocket, and successfully launched it at 2:45 pm EDT (1845 UTC) the same day.[38] So I was hopeful they could do the same today, but alas, um, nope.

WuphonsReach Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 If they go up on Tuesday, that's the same day that the ISS crew returns to Earth (coverage on NASA TV starts at 4pm Tuesday, undock is around 7:45pm, landing around 1000-1030pm). So could be a busy day of space-stuff to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooddog15 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I find it sort of hilarious and aggravating that Space X's main arch enemies are now boats. Also, that was one of closest aborts I've ever saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meithan Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 1 hour ago, gooddog15 said: Also, that was one of closest aborts I've ever saw Well, the flight computer commanded the abort automatically after determining that the thrust levels were not as expected. It's not like it had to time it just right or the rocket would launch. The rocket only launches if the flight computer OKs everything after the engines are lit.
