And launch scrubbed due to weather concerns at T -17 minutes. :frowning:

Decision to cancel the launch was made just before the final fuelling was due to begin. A single launch window for today, means the launch attempt is aborted for today. The next launch opportunity will be Saturday, 30 May about an hour earlier than today’s scheduled launch.
