Abort!

"Experienced a shutdown condition just after ignition. Launch team will look at the data. May be a chance to recycle and try again."

I saw green flashes like some of the engine starters were going off.

safing LV, going to recycle to T-15 minutes, no indications of anything beyond that, no word from SpaceX

We've had shuttles having an emergency MECO in the last second of a count-down, so this is hardly something unique to SpaceX.

Nick L. · « **Reply #352 on:** 06/04/2010 05:37 pm »

Anyone have any info on what caused the abort?

I would be hapy with a scrub & a try for tommorrow. I really don't want to see this burn on the pad.

And didn't it happen just last week with the Delta? Starting to get annoyed with the bad cloud people put over SpaceX.

The green flashes were likely from the TEA-TEB ignition source, similar to what we saw during the abort during the first hot-fire

If the igniters fired, then I would be happy with waiting till tomorrow to ensure that everything is perfect.

Just shows that something good worked to prevent something bad. In my book this is a gold star for SpaceX. Hope they can find a work-around and try again.

Yes...take 24 hours and go again is what I would do if you can isolate the problem.

Can the igniters fire a second time?
