Shuttle Atlantis Launch - Scrubbed. Launch Saturday |
Atma Offer Upgrade
User ID: 117053 United States 09/08/2006 04:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Shuttle Atlantis Launch - Scrubbed. Launch Saturday *EDIT* Launch Scrubbed today. Tune in tomorrow 1453 GMT (10:53 a.m. EDT) SCRUB! The engine cutoff sensor issue has forced NASA to scrub today's countdown. The plan calls for the external tank to be drained and another countdown performed tomorrow to evaluate how the hydrogen fuel level gauge acts. If it behaves in the same manner, officials could allow Atlantis to launch with only three of the four sensors working. Tomorrow's launch time is 11:15 a.m. EDT. Orbiter: Atlantis Mission: STS-115 Launch: Sept. 8, 2006 Time: 11:41 a.m. EDT (1541 GMT) Landing: Sept. 19 @ 7:10 a.m. EDT (1110 GMT) 5:30 a.m. - STS-115 Live Launch Coverage Begins [ link to www.nasa.gov] NASA TV Direct Links Windows Media [ link to www.nasa.gov] RealPlayer [ link to www.nasa.gov] Quicktime [ link to www.nasa.gov] High Bandwidth Win Media Link [ link to video.csupomona.edu] Live text updates [ link to spaceflightnow.com] (refresh page) |

The slight delay in the start of fueling is the result of workers having to replace a faulty gaseous nitrogen purge control valve, NASA spokesman Bruce Buckingham says.
0653 GMT (2:53 a.m. EDT)
FUELING UNDERWAY. The filling of space shuttle Atlantis' external fuel tank with a half-million gallons of supercold propellants has begun at launch pad 39B.
The tanking operation commenced with the chilldown thermal conditioning process at 2:49 a.m. This will be followed by the slow-fill mode and then the fast-fill mode. |

Anyone know if Discovery Science channel or Discovery HD Theater channel shows launches live? I could at least DVR it. |

I'm sure I heard them say there is 3 fuel cells and one of them is on the blink but the shuttle can re-enter with 1 fuel cell though its not ideal. That did seem pretty cool with still going ahead but there is slight doubt. Thats what I picked up anyway. |

The engine cutoff sensor situation continues to be discussed and debated among engineers and mission managers. No decision about today's launch attempt has been made yet. |

The final engineering assessements of the engine cutoff sensor are being made now. A decision from the management team is expected shortly. |
