Atlas no go today
TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 2005
1855 GMT (2:55 p.m. EDT)
Engineers are working to determine if there are any problems with a pair of Redundant Rate Gyro Units (RRGUs) aboard the Atlas 5 rocket that will launch the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The units are part of the vehicle's flight control system.
The concern stems from an RRGU that failed factory testing while being readied for a future launch.
If the issue can be resolved promptly, liftoff will proceed on Thursday morning.
1615 GMT (12:15 p.m. EDT)
DELAY. Launch of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been postponed 24 hours due to a technical issue. More details are expected to be released by NASA soon.
The launch window on Thursday extends from 7:50 to 9:35 a.m. EDT (1150-1335 GMT).
Target T-0 is 1150 GMT
