Clock reset to T-15 minutes which is standard practice after an abort. The launch window was 15 minutes long, but still a scrub for the day since the vehicle has been loaded with propellant.

Safing the vehicle. Vehicle is safe.

Next opportunity is Saturday, 3 October at 9:39 pm EDT. Not sure if there is going to be 24 hour turnaround. Will depend on if the problem can be resolved in time.

As of this morning's L-0 weather forecast it's only 20% 'Go' for tomorrow launch window.

The NGA has canceled the marine navigation warning notice with no new days assigned, so I assume that means that a launch attempt tomorrow night is off the table.

Reason for tonight's scrub:
"Unexpected pressure rise in the turbomachinery gas generator"
