Launch no earlier than 8:20 local time.  They are about 1:30 behind schedule do to a nasty storm passing through the area earlier stopping work.  Holding at T-2hrs now.

I am at the launch site now, troubleshooting ECO sensor issues!

You might want to fix your article...you say everything from Atlas 2 to Delta 2. :-) Hope it goes today I don't want to come back out here next week.

24 hours pending the range allowing. Delta 4 would have to agree to move a day to Sunday; and they have to launch by Sunday or wait till Oct.

BBC is reporting that it was an issue with the ECO much like on the Shuttle launch. Any truth to that?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4134300.stm

"During loading of the hydrogen fuel tank, sensors showed a "dry" reading when they should have been reading "wet". A similar problem forced Nasa to scrub the launch of the space shuttle Discovery from Cape Canaveral on 13 July."

Well that was fun. Did anyone lose access to the site? Last thing I saw was Ben saying We've got Deltas and Atlas' on the story...go to change it and the thing implodes ;)

Anyway, catch up time. Thanks to Warped and Ben for the updates :)
