"The range safety system is, once again, not functioning properly and not ready to support today's launch. This is similar to yesterday's problem, which prompted a late scrub of the attempt to launch an Atlas V rocket and two spy satellites."

Here's hoping they get the problem fixed this time."The range safety system is, once again, not functioning properly and not ready to support today's launch. This is similar to yesterday's problem, which prompted a late scrub of the attempt to launch an Atlas V rocket and two spy satellites."

Think someone might be jamming the range saftey system so these sats don't get launched?

Repairs have been made to the Range equipment and they're testing it right now. Fingers crossed.
Meanwhile, Centaur liquid hydrogen loading has begun. -

Unlikely - external interference would be pretty easy detectable. -

Sure, Al Qeada has a crack comando team randomly unplugging black boxxes on the range ;-)
Fingers crossed... Though if she doesn't fly today I'll get a chance to see her fly when I'm in town over the weekend. Be better if she flys today. -

Just a Random thought..
I know they've had Radio interference problems with range saftey before that have forced postponement of other launch attempts. Hadn't heard details on what the Range issue was this time. -

T-60 minutes. Still no updates on the range issue, but they are pressing on with fueling.

All tanks are in top-off mode, and range safety checks are underway. There also appears to be a guidance issue.

T-38 minutes.

Guidance issue appears to be resolved.

L minus 30 minutes.
Weather looks not bad on the KSC video streams. -
