Yeah apparently one of the four fuel level sensors was malfunctioning and despite having a full tank it was showing empty.

Re: NASA's Return to Flight Mission July 13!

this is exactly what i thought would happen. well i just hope the launch actually gets rescheduled and happens. i have never hoped so much to be wrong before.

Re: NASA's Return to Flight Mission July 13!

They're saying that the launch will actually take place this Saturday, or (given that 4 days is not enough time to make needed repairs) during the month of September.

Re: NASA's Return to Flight Mission July 13!

what Ive heard is that if they can repair it on the launch pad than theyll launch by saturday or next week. if they have to move it back to the hangar then itll be until september before they can launch it. either way ill be outside my house sittin at the pool waiting. there's really nothing like a shuttle launch in mid-afternoon.

Re: NASA's Return to Flight Mission July 13!

well good lol. I think of the space center as my best friend (especially since its practically in my back yard) lol. and it is nice to see people rooting for NASA. and it is true some people don't care. what we need to do as FIRSTers is spread the word of science and technology to make sure more and more people care and start to cheer NASA on.

I'd say not just NASA, but also the largely overlooked CSA, ESA and others around the world who are seeking out space exploration. It's better for everyone when those organisations work together, anyway.

Re: NASA's Return to Flight Mission July 13!

I was disappointed to see the launch get called off, but of course, its all in the interest of safety. Unfortunately, as of know, I don't think they have found any thing yet, and as far as I understand. It still sounds like a random sort of error, but I hope it can be fixed on the pad. At least I have another chance to watch the launch, I would have missed it due to a bad thunderstorm hanging over my office during the expected launch time. I hope that they can at least resolve the issue before the window closes (the one in August).

Re: NASA's Return to Flight Mission July 13!

Glad to see that the launch may happen before the window closes for next month. I haven't found a official release on the exact issues they found and what they fixed, but hopefully, what ever they did, it did the trick and the shuttle is set for a safe and successful launch. I look forward to watching the launch, and hopefully the sun will have moved far enough across the sky so I won't be staring directly at it to try and see the shuttle .

Re: NASA's Return to Flight Mission July 13!

Looks like they pulled their act together

Offical Relaunch Date: July 26
Countdown Begins: 10:34 am EST
Liftoff: 10:44 am EST

One thing though, they still haven't found what caused the fuel sensor mistake. But then again they only need 2 of the 4 to work.
