Наконец понял. В смысле http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2013/04/orbital-antares-debut-launch-attempt/ вторая картинка сверху. Я думал там гифка висит.

[Theoristos]

Угу, на nasaspaceflight выкладывали в гораздо бОльшем размере. Но гифка конфузящая, из неё кажется что мачта шатается, на видео это не так. Возможно она чуть скрутилась.

Из того же видео, та болтавшаяся фигня - на мачте обрывок какой-то пленки, падавшей откуда-то с верхнего края 1-й ступени. Он там не единственный падал.

Ветерок по видео совсем небольшой, никаких 10 м/с и в помине не видно.

Orbital has confirmed the next opportunity to test launch its Antares
rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia will be no earlier
than 5 p.m. EDT on Saturday, April 20.

NASA TV coverage of the launch will begin at 4:30 p.m. By the time
coverage starts, the launch window will likely have been reduced to 10-15
minutes.

Орбитал сообщил, что причиной отрыва разъема стало сочетание гидравлического движения мачты-подъемника и недостаточный резерв длины кабеля к разъему, не позволивший скомпенсировать эти движения. Немного поправили гидравлику, немного увеличили свободное движение кабеля, считают, что больше не повторится.

"The team determined the cause was a combination of slight hydraulic movement of the TEL and not enough slack left in the umbilical to allow for any additional or unplanned movement. Neither issue alone would have caused the umbilical disconnect, however, the combination resulted in the anomaly. Small adjustments are being made early today to both the hydraulics on the TEL and to the umbilical."

Orbital Reschedules Antares A-ONE Mission for April 20
 April 2013
Orbital has determined that the next launch attempt for the new Antares rocket will be no earlier than Saturday, April 20, at 5:00 p.m. The mission management team met this afternoon to evaluate weather forecasts and optimum crew work schedules to provide two back-to-back opportunities for a launch attempt.
Weather conditions deteriorate on Friday, April 19, but improve significantly over the next two days increasing the chances for acceptable conditions at launch time. This also allows the Antares launch team a day of rest before back-to-back opportunities on Saturday, April 20 and Sunday, April 21.

Antares Launch Update
Sat, 20 Apr 2013 05:23:46 AM GMT+0700

Orbital Sciences Corporation has confirmed the next launch attempt of its
Antares rocket fr om NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia is
scheduled for Saturday, April 20, with a target launch time of 5 p.m. EDT.
There is a 90 percent chance of favorable weather at the time of launch.
NASA TV coverage of the launch will begin at 4:30 p.m. If needed, a
back-up launch opportunity is available Sunday, April 21.
For an updated briefing and NASA TV coverage schedule, visit:

If you are interested in viewing the launch in the Chincoteague, Va.,
area, the recommended launch viewing sites are the NASA Wallops Flight
facility Visitors Center (http://sites.wff.nasa.gov/wvc) or the
Assateague National Seashore (http://www.nps.gov/asis/index.htm).

И МБО не нужна - в люльке подняли спецов на какую надо отметку, они всё сделают.

[Theoristos]

Пишут что есть проблема с сильным высотным ветром.
В Т-45 они выбирают из небольшого набора траекторий наилучшую, траектория которая уменьшает  ку-альфа и нагрузки на РН будет проходить "тревожаще близко" от северной линии аварийного прекращения полёта.

ps: пишут что сейчас вероятность пуска в намеченное время 90% и погода улучшается

1430 GMT (10:30 a.m. EDT)
The countdown picked up at T-minus 8 hours on time at 9 a.m. EDT, and everything is looking good for launch at 5 p.m.

A cold front pushed through coastal Virginia overnight, bringing showers and thunderstorms to the area. But the precipitation has ended and clouds are thinning out over the launch site, giving hope conditions will be favorable this evening for liftoff.

The countdown began with a call-to-stations for the Antares launch team. Over the next few hours, engineers will power up the 13-story rocket, load the launcher with refined RP-1 kerosene and liquid oxygen propellants, and activate the booster's systems for testing to ensure all is ready for flight.

The launch window has been shortened to two hours and now closes at 7 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT). The abbreviated launch window was planned going into the countdown and was conceived to ensure the launch team is not overworked and on console for too long, according to Orbital Sciences.

Once engineers begin loading super-cold liquid oxygen into the rocket's first stage, the available launch window will be condensed to 15 minutes. Orbital says the reason is to make sure the cryogenic oxidizer does not boil off too much during the countdown, a concern due to the limited supply of liquid oxygen available at the launch pad to replenish the rocket's tanks.

APRIL 20, 2013
1705 GMT (1:05 p.m. EDT)
Workers have evacuated the launch pad, and the technicians are positioned in a fallback zone a safe distance from the launch pad.

Alignment of the Antares rocket's guidance and navigation system is now underway, chilldown of the main sub-cooler with liquid nitrogen has begun.

The only concern being watched now are upper level winds. A cold front quickly pushed through the Wallops area overnight, bringing a strong jet stream over the launch site. Orbital describes the upper level winds as "marginal," but the conditions will be monitored continuously with a series of weather balloons throughout the countdown.

APRIL 20, 2013
1720 GMT (1:20 p.m. EDT)
The countdown has entered a 15-minute built-in hold, and the Antares prelaunch processing checklist is complete. When the countdown resumes, the launch team will begin the process of priming the plumbing on the launch facility for loading of super-cold liquid oxygen, which begins at about 3:30 p.m. EDT (1930 GMT).

APRIL 20, 2013
1735 GMT (1:35 p.m. EDT)
Countdown clocks have resumed ticking toward liftoff at 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT).

APRIL 20, 2013
1750 GMT (1:50 p.m. EDT)
Chilldown of the liquid oxygen fueling system has begun to prepare the propellant lines for the flow of super-cold cryogenic fluid as it is pumped into the rocket.

Officials continue to monitor upper level winds, and the launch team will decide around 3:30 p.m. EDT (1930 GMT) whether to proceed with a launch around 5 p.m. or target a launch time later in the window closer to 7 p.m.

APRIL 20, 2013
1801 GMT (2:01 p.m. EDT)
Alignment of the Antares rocket's guidance system is complete.

SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 2013
1814 GMT (2:14 p.m. EDT)
The launch team has completed testing of the rocket's flight termination system, and countdown is now moving into activating the vehicle's pyrotechnic ordnance systems in a few minutes.

SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 2013
1830 GMT (2:30 p.m. EDT)
Four small CubeSat satellites are mounted inside the Antares rocket for today's launch:

    Three PhoneSat payloads built by NASA. Nicknamed "Alexander, Graham and Bell," the satellites are each about the size of a human hand and have a mass of about 2.3 pounds each. The satellites are based on off-the-shelf Nexus smartphones running Google's Android operating system.

    The Dove 1 triple-CubeSat, weighing about 9 pounds at launch, will collect images of Earth and transmit amateur radio signals. Dove 1 is built and owned by Cosmogia Inc.
