Shuttle Launch No-Go

[suez live]

Current weather conditions dictate a no-go for launch.

Change still possible but unlikely.

Oh bummer. I'd been watching on C-SPAN 1 and had flipped away for a bit. Not heard the "no go" yet.


EDIT: Ah. They're going to continue on to T-9 and see how it looks then

They need to tell the TV statons, they are still in countdown.

I just heard 2 minutes ago that it's 50/50.

The countdown clock on NASA's website is still running, too.

There is an anvil forming so I bet it will not go.

 

[suez live]

Launch potentially resuming.

Going through go-no go checks.

Keep your fingers crossed.

 

[John VN]

Red on anvil. Still not good.

 

[suez live]

We plan to exhaust the entire launch window (5 minutes) in anticipation of a change. There are 2 minutes left for the official T-minus 9 hold.

 

[nightowlky]

Countdown on hold at T-9 min.

They don't think the weather window will be good today. Only 4 min. left in the window.

 

[suez live]

Scrubed.

 

[John VN]

Dynamic day so it is off.

 

[nightowlky]

Scrubbed...go again tomorrow.

 

[Dan Murphy]

UGH

D, T, & K==

If you are still reading, watch NASA-TV and I'll go stand by the Countdown clock.

Suez--

I am. Don't forget to pick me up a shirt!

 

[Dan Murphy]

NASA TV is great.

We've had thunderstorms this afternoon around the WDW area. They've been moving toward the east. Not a surprise that the launch was scrubbed. There is an even bigger chance of storms tomorrow. That's Florida!

TV is great but you can't beat watching the launch in person. We were on the beach watching when we heard on the radio it was scrubbed. I think the weather is supposed to be worse tomorrow.
