a 890 00:55:10,549 --> 00:55:08,559 component of a ground support equipment 891 00:55:12,309 --> 00:55:10,559 not the rocket itself not the cygnus 892 00:55:13,910 --> 00:55:12,319 spacecraft itself but a piece of ground 893 00:55:16,150 --> 00:55:13,920 support equipment 894 00:55:17,829 --> 00:55:16,160 uh that is under investigation as the 895 00:55:19,670 --> 00:55:17,839 northrop grumman engineers at the range 896 00:55:20,870 --> 00:55:19,680 control center at wallops island 897 00:55:22,710 --> 00:55:20,880 virginia 898 00:55:24,710 --> 00:55:22,720 uh pour over the data 899 00:55:25,589 --> 00:55:24,720 and make a determination as to whether 900 00:55:27,829 --> 00:55:25,599 or not 901 00:55:31,589 --> 00:55:27,839 we can make another launch attempt 902 00:55:33,510 --> 00:55:31,599 tomorrow with a 24-hour recycle bottles 903 00:55:35,270 --> 00:55:33,520 copy that in work 904 00:55:38,470 --> 00:55:35,280 if in fact 905 00:55:41,109 --> 00:55:38,480 uh the problem is uh minor and can be 906 00:55:42,390 --> 00:55:41,119 corrected to permit a launch attempt on 907 00:55:44,549 --> 00:55:42,400 friday night 908 00:55:48,150 --> 00:55:44,559 and uh engine bottle charging the launch 909 00:55:51,589 --> 00:55:48,160 time uh on friday would be 8 16 p.m 910 00:55:53,349 --> 00:55:51,599 central time 9 16 pm eastern time 911 00:55:55,109 --> 00:55:53,359 resulting in cygnus arriving at the 912 00:56:01,990 --> 00:55:55,119 international space station in the early 913 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:21,750 and work 914 00:56:27,510 --> 00:56:24,950 roger that

00:56:33,280 this is an auto control mode okay copy 918 00:57:59,589 --> 00:56:34,960 that 919 00:58:05,990 --> 00:58:03,510 okay launch team lc on the countdown net 920 00:58:07,430 --> 00:58:06,000 so at this time in step alpha 42 the 921 00:58:09,109 --> 00:58:07,440 intention 922 00:58:11,750 --> 00:58:09,119 for our next launch attempt is to 923 00:58:13,829 --> 00:58:11,760 perform a recycle and come back and do 924 00:58:16,630 --> 00:58:13,839 this again in 24 hours 925 00:58:18,470 --> 00:58:16,640 that's all contingent on understanding 926 00:58:19,990 --> 00:58:18,480 what caused the abort 927 00:58:21,030 --> 00:58:20,000 but all of our 928 00:58:23,030 --> 00:58:21,040 pad 929 00:58:24,470 --> 00:58:23,040 recovery efforts will be based off of 930 00:58:25,829 --> 00:58:24,480 the assumption that we're coming back in 931 00:58:27,829 --> 00:58:25,839 24 hours 932 00:58:29,829 --> 00:58:27,839 there will be no cargo refresh that's 933 00:58:31,589 --> 00:58:29,839 required at this time 934 00:58:33,349 --> 00:58:31,599 and again so our pad recovery effort 935 00:58:35,349 --> 00:58:33,359 should be assuming that we do not have a 936 00:58:44,710 --> 00:58:35,359 cargo refresh at this time 937 00:58:48,870 --> 00:58:47,030 okay if i get ace uh gce 938 00:58:50,870 --> 00:58:48,880 mes1 939 00:58:53,510 --> 00:58:50,880 prop lead 940 00:58:55,990 --> 00:58:53,520 side control stage one system over to 941 00:58:57,829 --> 00:58:56,000 the anomaly onenet 942 00:59:00,950 --> 00:58:57,839 and i have to see if i get opm over 943 00:59:10,309 --> 00:59:00,960 there as well so stand by uh for elsi on 944 00:59:14,150 --> 00:59:11,990 this is mission control houston as you 945 00:59:15,510 --> 00:59:14,160 heard from the launch conductor at 946 00:59:16,710 --> 00:59:15,520 wallops 947 00:59:19,190 --> 00:59:16,720 the intent 948 00:59:21,829 --> 00:59:19,200 for the launch control team 949 00:59:24,630 --> 00:59:21,839 at wallops island virginia is to point 950 00:59:26,950 --> 00:59:24,640 toward a 24-hour recycle and another 951 00:59:28,950 --> 00:59:26,960 launch attempt on friday night pending 952 00:59:29,910 --> 00:59:28,960 an understanding of what caused the 953 00:59:31,510 --> 00:59:29,920 scrub 954 00:59:33,990 --> 00:59:31,520 of tonight's launch at about the two 955 00:59:36,150 --> 00:59:34,000 minute 40 second mark 956 00:59:37,430 --> 00:59:36,160 the launch control team is taking a look 957 00:59:39,589 --> 00:59:37,440 at the data 958 00:59:41,510 --> 00:59:39,599 of the systems down at wallops before 959 00:59:44,789 --> 00:59:41,520 they lock that in 960 00:59:46,549 --> 00:59:44,799 assuming a 24-hour recycle 961 00:59:48,309 --> 00:59:46,559 we would go on the air on nasa 962 00:59:52,630 --> 00:59:48,319 television with tomorrow night's launch 963 00:59:54,150 --> 00:59:52,640 attempt at 7 45 pm central time 8 45 pm 964 00:59:56,230 --> 00:59:54,160 eastern time 965 00:59:57,349 --> 00:59:56,240 for a

01:00:08,950 --> 01:00:05,200 international space station 970 01:00:12,390 --> 01:00:08,960 on monday morning for a capture at 4 20 971 01:00:13,990 --> 01:00:12,400 a.m central 5 20 a.m eastern time again 972 01:00:17,430 --> 01:00:14,000 we'll be standing by for further 973 01:00:20,069 --> 01:00:17,440 information but again as you heard uh on 974 01:00:23,990 --> 01:00:20,079 the loop from the launch conductor the 975 01:00:25,910 --> 01:00:24,000 intent is uh to press ahead to prepare 976 01:00:28,630 --> 01:00:25,920 for another launch attempt on friday 977 01:00:32,309 --> 01:00:28,640 night pending a resolution of the 978 01:00:34,870 --> 01:00:32,319 problem uh which is still being analyzed 979 01:00:36,630 --> 01:00:34,880 through the data that's being studied by 980 01:00:39,349 --> 01:00:36,640 the launch control team at wallops to 981 01:00:41,270 --> 01:00:39,359 determine what caused tonight's abort 982 01:05:50,230 --> 01:00:41,280 and the scrub of tonight's launch at the 983 01:05:55,109 --> 01:05:52,789 this is mission control houston to recap 984 01:05:57,750 --> 01:05:55,119 tonight's launch attempt 985 01:06:01,270 --> 01:05:57,760 for northrop grumman's antares rocket to 986 01:06:03,430 --> 01:06:01,280 send the cygnus resupply craft with four 987 01:06:05,109 --> 01:06:03,440 tons of supplies and scientific 988 01:06:06,710 --> 01:06:05,119 experiments to the international space 989 01:06:09,190 --> 01:06:06,720 station was 990 01:06:12,309 --> 01:06:09,200 scrubbed at about the t minus two minute 991 01:06:17,270 --> 01:06:14,789 the countdown had been proceeding uh 992 01:06:19,430 --> 01:06:17,280 normally until uh we 993 01:06:20,950 --> 01:06:19,440 stopped the count earlier 994 01:06:23,270 --> 01:06:20,960 to allow a uh 995 01:06:25,829 --> 01:06:23,280 the range to uh clear 996 01:06:27,589 --> 01:06:25,839 around the wallops flight facility in 997 01:06:30,309 --> 01:06:27,599 virginia and the oceanside launch pad 998 01:06:33,589 --> 01:06:30,319 for the mid-atlantic regional spaceport 999 01:06:37,430 --> 01:06:33,599 once the countdown resumed everything uh 1000 01:06:43,910 --> 01:06:41,670 until uh the countdown was uh called off 1001 01:06:46,630 --> 01:06:43,920 engineers for northrop grumman at 1002 01:06:49,430 --> 01:06:46,640 wallops are looking at the data as to 1003 01:06:52,150 --> 01:06:49,440 what specifically caused tonight's uh 1004 01:06:54,069 --> 01:06:52,160 countdown to be halted 1005 01:06:55,270 --> 01:06:54,079 and the five-minute launch window 1006 01:06:56,950 --> 01:06:55,280 expired 1007 01:07:01,589 --> 01:06:56,960 with no attempt 1008 01:07:03,430 --> 01:07:01,599 tonight for cygnus to go skyward to send 1009 01:07:04,710 --> 01:07:03,440 itself to the international space 1010 01:07:07,190 --> 01:07:04,720 station so 1011 01:07:10,150 --> 01:07:07,200 the intent pending a resolution of the 1012 01:07:12,789 --> 01:07:10,160 problem that caused tonight's scrub 1013 01:07:17,750 --> 01:07:12,799 is to recycle for another launch attempt 1014 01:07:22,870 --> 01:07:20,309 we will begin our launch coverage uh on 1015 01:07:24,630 --> 01:07:22,880 friday night pending a resolution of the 1016 01:07:28,470 --> 01:07:24,640 problem at wallops 1017 01:07:29,910 --> 01:07:28,480 at 7 45 pm central time 8 45 pm eastern 1018 01:07:34,069
