Asiasat 1 Launch
« on: 11/07/2012 01:16 pm »
After Westar VI was renewed as Asiasat 1 and was prepared to launch, I saw a video that showed the liftoff, except it was a couple minutes late because at T0, the Long March didn't launch due to a problem. What was the problem?

Hmm are you sure that the launch was out of the window? I would actually love to see the launch video!

I don't think there was any problem. The commentator simply was not used to watch the launch. It looks that the procedures for launch were all okay.
