25 minutes remaining in the hold.
The ice issue is stil being discussed. In the T-9 minute hold, an issue has been detected with main engine #2. The inlet temperature and pressure is slightly off, due to a the pressure of LH2 being off by about 7 ppm. Engineers have seen this phneomenon before, but will need to take a look at it before the engine can be cleared for launch. Launch controllers just notified the NTD that a LCC waiver is in work for an issue with iso 1. The launch hold drainback time is 4 minutes, 42 seconds. The preferred launch time is 11:18:19 and is the target for today's liftoff. |
