Falcon 9 Block 5 aborted launch with Bangabandhu Satellite-1

ZachS09 · « **Reply #205 on:** 05/10/2018 10:08 pm »

Right now, the description of the abort is simply a violation of abort criteria. Maybe a tweet later today will inform us the actual cause.

Concluding today's webcast.

Sorry about the abort, fellas. Times like these happen.

Quote from: Michael Baylor

Ground computers were at fault for today's #SpaceX launch abort from Pad 39A. Ground computers were also to blame for back to back aborts during the Intelsat 35e mission in July of last year.
