Right now, Falcon 9 is in a safe configuration.

Aborts are part of the standard process.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Still looking at the data. The count needs to pick up in about 8 minutes if they are going to make the end of the window.

Five minutes left before count needs to start.

Three minutes to go.

Still reviewing data.

It’s 1807 EDT, launch window closes in 15 minutes, and it would seem the launch is now scrubbed.

15 minutes to end of window. Scrub for the day!
