Non-nominal reception of telemetry data for the safety team. Launcher, satellite and weather were go. Will be trying again tomorrow.

As the reception of telemetry data by the range safety team was not nominal, Arianespace decided to interrupt the final VS24 launch chronology 5 minutes and 03 seconds before liftoff.

The soonest possible launch date for the VS24 Flight is Tuesday, 01 December at:
> 08:33 p.m., in Washington, D.C.
> 10:33 p.m., in Kourou, French Guiana
> 01:33 Universal Time (UTC) on 02 December
> 02:33 a.m., in Paris, on 02 December
> 05:33 a.m., in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) time, on 02 December

The Soyuz launch vehicle and the satellite FalconEye are in stable and safe conditions.

"Never, never be afraid of the truth." -- Jim Bridenstine

I found this statement on RussianSpaceWeb (http://www.russianspaceweb.com/falcon-eye-2.html) regarding this mission

"The second stage will fire until five minutes into the flight, when the third stage should take over. The first stage boosters and the two segments of the payload fairing will fall into the Atlantic south of the Equator and the third stage will impact west of Greenland."

My question is, has anyone found notams or notmars for the Second and Third Stage re-entries? The two I have found look like the First Stage (A0436/20) and Fregat (F3305/20) ones.

EDIT: Make that 3 Notams, may have found the second stage one now (A2173/20). Just looking for a third stage one now.

Two attempts so far.
Once more LOX for the Soyuz? Or how often can that be done?

If you're asking about a livestream, I'm expecting that there will be one. We're just waiting for Arianespace to provide the link.
