Question for later: why are there 3 LOX vents?

We were discussing this in the IRC chat that I am in right now too. We are all wondering the same thing and if anyone has an answer, I'm interested in hearing as well.

Vents at:
1st stage.
Interstage.
2nd stage.

Nice touch by Cassie about STS-127. You wouldn't get that from Virgin Galatic.

Letting clocks roll.

And they don't stop the count. Range ETRO 30 seconds

William Graham · « **Reply #549 on:** 07/14/2009 03:32 am »

Sounds like they're trying to fix it without aborting the terminal count.

Nick L. · « **Reply #550 on:** 07/14/2009 03:32 am »

Sounds like a transient red, should be green by T-0?

Battery heaters stopping.
Helium load stopping.

Thanks for explaination Chris.

Also, agree with you about Virgin and the congrats to STS-127. Never would hear that from a Virgin launch!

Ignition enabled.

Antares · « **Reply #558 on:** 07/14/2009 03:33 am »

Is the Range run by the Army?

Swatch · « **Reply #559 on:** 07/14/2009 03:33 am »

Sounded like Redmon(?) froze.... perhaps they run Windoze

Only 30 seconds to recheck, so probably not bad they kept count running.

Redmon was recycled... range is GREEN!
