Launch abort...

elmarko · « **Reply #74 on:** 10/27/2006 12:09 am »

That's some abrupt coverage right there.

"Yeah, that's an abort. Anyway, see you, bye!"

Maybe she wanted to get home early tonight.

Seems that I heard a voice with a Russian accent talking about something not being disconnected...

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #76 on:** 10/27/2006 12:09 am »

There was a disconnect at some point at T-60 seconds, or a failure to disconnect. Will try and go over the recording to catch the exact issues (unless Bob beats me to it).

Jim · « **Reply #77 on:** 10/27/2006 12:11 am »

I think "abort" is the wrong term

Jim · « **Reply #78 on:** 10/27/2006 12:12 am »

Autocoupler failed to disconnect

That has happened before with Sea Launch and other commercial launch providers. Very annoying, to say the least. The viewer is left wondering why. "Are they hiding something?" Etc.

There are probably some real contractural or otherwise legal reasons for the video shutdown.
