How can a sensor fail one day and work the next day. I have never understood that about the ECO sensors. And who is to say a sensor is not going to fail during assent.
Just one more reason we need Orion, about the only scrub worry we will have with that ship is weather and perhaps something with the 2nd stage.
No one knows. It happened last summer and will hopefully happen tomorrow morning. Guess we'll find out!

The 2nd stage of Orion will also have ECO sensors.

Maybe they can put six or eight on this one so they don't have a problem with redundancy worries

So what's the next big failure for the next attempt? Any predictions?
Somthing tell's me APUs but could be other stuff. Atleast tommorw's weather was reported to be 20% Chance no-go

In short:
Bad ECO Sensor. Try again tomorrow. If same failure...fly with 3 of 4. Launch at 11:15 AM EDT. Press briefing coming up.

Obviously not. Remember, this is mostly different hardware. Definitely a new ET and sensors and a different orbiter, but also possibly a different orbiter point sensor box -- not sure about where the PSB hardware "rotation" left things after last year.
Thing is, even though I believe this would still be classified as a UA, they have spent a lot of time since the STS-114 launch campaign preparing for this scenario.

So, what now? Is this an electrical problem or something more serious?

KSC workers call Atlantis 'the Penguin'..."it's black and white and never flies." Hi-larious.

Columbia was the first orbiter to have that joke told about it, at least back in the 90s.

Sounds like they got a new data point in terms of the system behavior.
