Специально ? В смысле так задумано , или как несколько дней назад на тестовом "промораживании" второй ступени дефект клапана ?

[Salo]

Пока стоит.

Launch aborted by autosequence due to slower than expected thrust ramp. Seems ok on closer inspection. Cycling countdown.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says the abort was triggered by a slower than normal ramp-up of thrust on the first stage's nine Merlin 1D engines. The condition looks OK upon closer inspection, he says.

The countdown is being recycled to set up for another launch try tonight.

2254 GMT (5:54 p.m. EST)
The launch team is loading helium and nitrogen pressurant and maneuvering propellant into the rocket. This is part of the effort to set up for another potential launch attempt tonight.

2251 GMT (5:51 p.m. EST)
John Insprucker, SpaceX's Falcon 9 product manager, says the launch team is planning to load more liquid oxygen propellant into the Falcon 9's two stages to configure the launcher for another attempt tonight.

The launch window extends to 6:44 p.m. EST (2344 GMT), so there is some time resolve the problem.

SpaceX engineers have aborted countdowns after engine ignition before. Officials have previously said such aborts are often caused by conservative software limits that can be relaxed.

Откатили счётчик на 32 минуты. Будут пытаться пустить в конце окна?

 The SpaceX launch team is still looking at the data from the abort caused by a slow ramp-up of thrust.
"They have yet fully committed to go forward tonight," says John Insprucker, SpaceX's Falcon 9 product manager. "They're still scrubbing the data."

Уже в окно не укладываются...

[Bizonich]

Все, к Хаффу. Если через 5 минут не запустят отсчет, то я спать пойду.

[Salo]

Пошёл отсчёт с 26 минуты.

[cavia]

счетчик запустили, что не может не радовать!

[Bizonich]

Ну хоть это хороше!
