DocM Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Sounds like the webcast goes live at T-10m They want the tanks to.fill just before T-0 so its as cold as possible. A new sequence. Target is LOX temp of 66°K. Draggendrop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggendrop Veteran Posted February 29, 2016 Veteran Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Looks like the count is set for 00:21 UTC, and monitoring......they are pushing the temp loss....count running...but, may not launch still. note/ that's a 30 min sit for temp increases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) I'd say there's a civil case as a launch day costs about $500k minimum. As to what the USCG does, dunno. I imagine he could be cited. Count resumed, pending the idiot clearing the zone. Draggendrop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggendrop Veteran Posted February 29, 2016 Veteran Share Posted February 29, 2016 Notice to Airmen and Mariners are issued by respective offices, it is up to those in the operations of their vessels and aircraft to be aware. This is serious and fines should also be imposed, as well as a situation review with offenders. Some one is going to have a bad day.

Draggendrop Veteran Posted February 29, 2016 Veteran Share Posted February 29, 2016 Deluge water was turned on, ignition started and a small sputter then auto shutdown. We still have tomorrow.
