Glory Launch Commentator George Diller: This is Taurus Launch Control.

3
00:00:02,180 --> 00:00:07,180
We're 15 minutes, 35 seconds since the liftoff of the Taurus XL rocket. The

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,640
flight was going well, until the time of fairing separation, and then we had data

5
00:00:17,450 --> 00:00:18,456
coming into the Mission Director's Center from our Vandenberg tracking

6
00:00:21,110 --> 00:00:25,710
station and from Point MuGu that we did not have a successful fairing

7
00:00:27,350 --> 00:00:32,883
separation from the Taurus and it was insufficient velocity, with the fairing still

8
00:00:35,570 --> 00:00:38,770
on, for the vehicle to be able to achieve orbit.

9
00:00:39,910 --> 00:00:45,176
So at this time, we are going to be activating our launch contingency plan here

10
00:00:46,690 --> 00:00:51,823
in the Mission Director's Center. We were taking all of the data that we have

11
00:00:56,610 --> 00:01:01,476
from our tracking sites to be able to give us whatever information we can

12
00:01:02,870 --> 00:01:08,070
ascertain from the data from the vehicle data that might give us some clues as

13
00:01:08,140 --> 00:01:08,783
to what may have happened and why the fairing did not come off, but again,

14
00:01:12,430 --> 00:01:17,496
the fairing did not separate from the Taurus and the Glory spacecraft is not

15
00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:21,086
able to achieve orbit.

16
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,906
So at this point until we are able to have a press briefing to provide whatever

17
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:37,060
additional information we might be able to indicate that would give us some

18
00:01:40,220 --> 00:01:45,353
further data on what we've been doing since we first got that data indicating

19
00:01:46,370 --> 00:01:51,503
that the fairing did not come off, we will be concluding our coverage and our

20
00:01:52,850 --> 00:01:55,516
next activity on NASA TV for the Taurus,

21
00:01:58,030 --> 00:02:01,496
Glory launch will be our contingency press briefing.

22
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:07,870
So 20 minutes after the launch of the Glory spacecraft on the Taurus,
