[Albert VDS]

Waiting for engineers to give a go no-go for a relaunch.

Elon Musk â€Â@elonmusk 40s

Launch aborted by autosequence due to slower than expected thrust ramp. Seems ok on closer inspection. Cycling countdown.

[minimuffin]

From my knowledge of rockets, they are commencing the launch process again!

[goldenpeach]

I like the steam coming out of the rocket,we need that in KSP

[hugix]

Back to the T-13:00 hold. Engineers are currently investigating the data of the failed launch attempts and try t determine if it is possible to launch the vehicle.

[Godot]

They already reset the countdown to -13:00

looks like they are planning to restart it soon

[Albert VDS]

According to SplaceFlightNow.com:

SpaceX engineers have aborted countdowns after engine ignition before. Officials have previously said such aborts are often caused by conservative software limits that can be relaxed.

[Godot]

Now they increased the countdown to 32:07

well, maybe they will launch the rocket sometime before the end of the week

[dharak1]

Darn, hold at 48 seconds

[hugix]

What happened?

[Godot]

Countdown has stopped again at t-48

[Kryten]

Abort? AGAIN? At just T-48s?

Last one was at T+1s...

If launch aborts' date=' we will bring the rocket down for engine inspection, so probably a few days before next attempt[/quote']

EDIT:

Flight computer didn't start from the sounds of it.

That callout was them verifying it'd been shut off. The abort call was made by the propulsion officer.

[Albert VDS]

At this rate it might be better to take it down and inspect the vehicle.

[nhnifong]

Awww they aborted it.

[Albert VDS]

Elon Musk â€Â@elonmusk 8m

If launch aborts, we will bring the rocket down for engine inspection, so probably a few days before next attempt

So it looks like no more attempt for today.

[BeefTenderloin]

Falcon 9 launch - Brought to you by the windows file transfer time predictor!

[goldenpeach]

Scrubbed for today

I hoped I will be able to see it!

[BeefTenderloin]

Aw, abort. They ran out of time to do the data review, so they're de-tanking her.
