Launch via CGI graphics. No live cameras that I can see.

Telemetry now being received at Baikonur tracking facilities.

Satori · « **Reply #47 on:** 06/15/2010 02:46 pm »

Did anyone else noted the phrase "launch aborted"?

The screen ticker alternates between reporting "OK" and "reporting anomaly aboard the rocket". Hmm...

Shouldn't the fairing be separated by now?

Ah ok....they said upper fairing sep confirmed.

Claiming it's nominal at 400 seconds.

Danderman · « **Reply #53 on:** 06/15/2010 02:51 pm »

OK, what tracking facility is receiving this telemetry?

Satori · « **Reply #54 on:** 06/15/2010 02:51 pm »

Danderman · « **Reply #55 on:** 06/15/2010 02:52 pm »

At 500 seconds, the Oman tracking facility is picking up the signal.

Oman?

CGI stream switched between " launch aborted " - "anomaly reported on vehicle" to " everything is nominal" -
could it be that it is directly plugged into telemetry data, which might drop out / get some small interference now and then, and that this is directly reported to the streaming software?

What other reasons could there be for this weird switching? Everything is nominal as far as I can tell.

Oman?

I was questioning the telemetry reception just before the rocket came into view of Oman.

BTW, attached is a photo of the Oman telemetry station.
