T-8:12 a HOLD has been called. but the clock finally got stopped at 8:07.

This will probably end today's launch attempt as a recycle of the countdown will place the launch outside the window. Standing by for the reason for the Hold.

LD has issued a stand down for today's launch. Stay tuned to this thread for the next launch attempt.

Have a great day.

Launch technicians are the last people on Earth to touch an Electron rocket before it goes to space. When they depart the pad in preparation for liftoff, you know it's almost time to go to orbit.

Your work day could look like this too. Launch Technician roles open now: https://bit.ly/48REQwl
