SCRUB: SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 - SES-8 - Nov. 25 - LAUNCH UPDATES

[psloss]

Hold!

Flight computer not started up?

After the hold, they go into a recycle that puts everything in a safe configuration -- some of these are callouts to verify that.

[Ben the Space Brit]

Lots of chat about safeing the vehicle. Any official word on an abort?

[DaveS]

Big, big vent caused that I reckon.....no official note.

Normal. The stage vented the excess pressure in the LOX tank. It is standard procedure after an abort to relieve the pressures by opening the vent valves as the flight pressures are much higher than the pre-launch tank pressures.

Strongback not moving yet....

[Chris Bergin]

Easing, very slowly, the strongback back into position.

she lost more than one umbilical from/near payload section halfway into strongback retraction. It looked like it briefly got caught and was pulled from the vehicle. I do recall that as norm from the last launch.

I think I heard that the flight computer did not start, not sure if the reason then.

[Chris Bergin]

Strongback having issues getting back into position.

[AJA]

Clock is still at T-03:40

[Chris Bergin]

Yeah, on the big vent, it was more coincidental for me. Big rocket cough, large vent, hold hold hold on the net.

I'm sure we'll get to hear the actual reason soon.

[Star One]

Strongback having issues getting back into position.

It doesn't look like it's moving at all.

[Ben the Space Brit]

I'm guessing that's it for tonight? When does the window next open?

No, that was a safeing call, he was saying to verify it was not in startup since a hold had been called.

[Chris Bergin]

Scrub official.

[Star One]

An off-nominal condition & finished for today. Next window is on Thursday starting one minute later.

[robertross]

Confirmation that that is it for today

next attempt: 3 days from now

[Chris Bergin]

Next attempt is Thanksgiving Thursday!

[robertross]

webcast has ended

[Chris Bergin]

SpaceX ending their webcast as you'd expect.

Right, so we'll collate what we get to find out via L2 and I'll modify the article with usable details.

[Chris Bergin]

And well done everyone. I know I had an active mod in here keeping it on updates, and very little modding was required, so everyone really did well to keep the relevant threads on the relevant conversations.

Loving our new servers. Wasn't a problem despite being very, very busy.
