  Yes and 115.

• It also was a problem with 115.
• #27 by Chris Bergin on 06 Dec, 2007 12:56
• Troubleshooting. Two of the sensors failed. Lots going on, but they are reccomending scrub. Standby...

• Oh.Such a good weather today.Hopefully problem with ECO's can be solved.

• I believe that the issues on 114 and 115 are still essentially unexplained anomalies (UA), although they have more data in this case with the orbiter wiring mods that were made.

• yeah it's GORGEOUS here in FL today.. and Mom was ready to watch in the SE sky up in New England to see it today too  they better fix it.
  If they can't and they scrub, what can they do to be sure it doesnt' happen at the next attempt?? And would that be a 24 or 48 hr. scrub? or more?

• I'm thinking they will stand down 24 hours, de-tank, and try again Tomorrow

  They better fix it because...why?  They are working on it, they have been working on the UA since spring 2005 when they first saw it.  All we can do on the outside is observe.

• SCRUB is what we're hearing on L2.
  
  Crikey, and rollback (not official).
• #37 by SCE2Aux on 06 Dec, 2007 13:07
• ECO sensors again? This is beyond ridiculous.

  I'm guessing they may want to swap these sensors out. If it's a rollback then launch won't be until next year and that's going to impact all the other launches... damn and all that hard work done on the ISS to relocate Harmony.
