Atlantis launch scrub somewhat confirmed
- Published
The scrub of today's Atlantis launch attempt becomes more and more real... NASA's homepage right now has this statement:
Approximately 16 minutes into fast fill, two ECO sensors failed to indicate wet. They are troubleshooting the issue. Currently, H2 is at 80% and O2 is at 50%. Tanking is continuing. We expect to have a status from leadership soon as to whether we continue or scrub. If we scrub, a briefing will follow that decision on NASA TV.
It doesn't sound final, but it backs evidence that the information on nasaspaceflight.com regarding the STS-122 launch scrub is correct. Other sites now also report accordingly.
