Abort!

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #49 on:** 11/28/2013 09:39 pm »

Whoa. Aborted!

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #50 on:** 11/28/2013 09:40 pm »

TEA fired. Engines seemed to fire. Safe abort. Strongback going back in place.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #51 on:** 11/28/2013 09:41 pm »

Was after ignition.

Wow! You don't get it narrower than that! Space historians will know better but I believe that's the first post T=0 abort that I've ever seen on a SpaceX launch.

That image looks like LOX spilling down. The streamers.

There have been quite a few, IIRC. I distinctly remember an F1 aborting and then launching later in the same window. Pretty sure at least one more F1 and an F9 had one as well

Recyling. Going to top the vehicle tanks again.

Vehicle being safed...

And now the strongback is moving - was worried for a second there...

Strongback behaving itself by going back into position.
