Ares 1X scrubbed - October 27, 2009
NASA's test of the Ares 1-X, the prototype space shuttle replacement, has been called off due to weather. Clouds over the site raised the risk of triboelectrification--a build-up of static electricity on the rocket's body as it flies through weather that can lead to communications problems. Winds at the launch pad were also a factor.
Mission planners will try again at 8:00AM Eastern Time tomorrow.
