Clock Reset Due to Weather
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:54:05 AM CDT
The clock was stopped when Launch Weather Officer Kathy Winters determined the triboelectrification rule would be violated at launch time. Launch Test Director Jeff Spaulding and Winters are discussing upcoming weather conditions. A weather aircraft is flying into the area now and the team will wait to hear its findings.

New Launch Time
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:12:50 AM CDT
The team now is targeting 10:54 a.m. as the new liftoff time. The countdown is set to resume at 10:50 a.m. to support that new T-0 time. The recycle to T-4 minutes and holding went very smoothly, leaving the Ares I-X rocket stable and ready for its next try at launch. We're awaiting more updates from the weather aircraft and Launch Weather Officer Kathy Winters for an update on the triboelectrification status aloft.

Range "Red" Due to Pad Winds
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:30:17 AM CDT
Launch Weather Officer Kathy Winters just told Launch Director Ed Mango the range has gone "red," or "no-go," due to wind at the launch pad exceeding the 20-knot limit. She's also less confident about the expected gap in the clouds, and whether there will be enough time to come out of the hold and launch the vehicle before the clouds close in. We're standing by to see how weather evolves.
