NASA to Try Again for OCO-2 Launch on Wednesday
NASA confirmed it will attempt to launch the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) again tomorrow (July 2) at 2:56 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, 5:56 a.m. EDT).
Launch today was scrubbed at T-46 seconds because of a failed valve that was part of the launch pad water system that protects the pad itself and suppresses sound at the time of liftoff. The valve has been replaced with a spare, the agency said.
As with the first launch attempt, there will be a 30-second launch window. Weather conditions remain 100 percent favorable.
