This is Atlas Launch Control and we have scrubbed our launch for today.
We are planning for a 24-hour turnaround for tomorrow.
The reason for the scrub today again is the ground winds exceeded our limits and we were monitoring those ground winds throughout the morning
and throughout the afternoon. And even though, at some points through the afternoon, it appeared that they were going to be just under our
limits of 33 knots, they did exceed those limits. And our perimeters are very clear, that if they exceed those limits, then we will not launch.
We chose not to launch today because our ground winds were just a little too stiff for us.
What we'll do is we're going to come back tomorrow. Our launch time is 1:16 p.m. Eastern time.
Again, we have a one hour 59-minute launch window, closing the window at 3:15 Eastern time tomorrow.
Again, the reason for our scrub today was strictly ground winds. All aspects of the spacecraft, the New Horizons spacecraft,
as well as the Atlas V rocket, were prepared for a liftoff; however, our winds were just too strong and they kept us on the ground today.
Again, we'll come back with launch commentary beginning at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow for a planned liftoff time at 1:16 p.m.
At this point, we'll close out launch commentary. From the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, this is Atlas Launch Control.
