Ignition sequence safely aborted.

 

[Cairan]

Abort .... :-(

 

[N_Molson]

Well well well...

 

[NovaSilisko]

Fat lot of good delaying for 7 months did.

 

[Codz]

Wonderful.:dry:

 

[N_Molson]

LV safed and in "stable configuration".

 

[mojoey]

three days until the next window...COME ON!

 

[sorindafabico]

What happened?

 

[Unstung]

Chamber pressure was high on engine 5.
The next launch window is on Tuesday.

:woohoo:
Now I will be able to watch it in full HD for the next attempt. (Am I the only one happy that it didn't launch today? :lol

 

[Cosmic Penguin]

Next launch "window" is on May 22 at 07:44 UTC (3:44 am EDT).

 

[Der Zeitgeist]

Can they even make it to the next launch window, in three days? As the engines actually started firing, I imagine there is some extensive refurbishment needed on the first stage?

 

[N_Molson]

And then computer played safe as it was designed to and shut down everything. That high-pressure thing could have meant a mid-air explosion.

 

[Codz]

I'm certainly not impressed with 7+ months of delay and a launch abort.
