NTD: Attention all personnel, this is the NTD conducting the launch status check. Verify ready to resume count and go for launch. OTC.
OTC: Go.
(Controllers speaking in launch code.)
NTD: Houston flight.
HOUSTON FLIGHT: Houston flight is no go.
(Controllers speaking in launch code.)
NTD: SRO.
SRO: SRO is no-go for weather.
(Controllers speaking in launch code.)
NTD: Copy that. And launch director, NTD, launch team is ready to proceed, with the exception of Houston Flight and SRO, both for weather at this time.
LAUNCH CONDUCTOR: OK. Copy all that. Let me do my poll at this time.
(Launch conductor takes poll)
LAUNCH CONDUCTOR: And Range Weather Launch Director, go-no go for launch?
RANGE WEATHER: Range weather is currently red on the anvil rule.
LAUNCH CONDUCTOR: Copy.
(Launch conductor takes poll)
LAUNCH CONDUCTOR: Sir, we've been fighting the weather for quite some time.
Doesn't look like we're going to get go either from the launch perspective. I know Kathy may be technically go,
but just don't feel good about the launch weather flight. Don't believe he's cleared his constraints. Houston Flight and launch director.
HOUSTON FLIGHT: Launch director, this is Houston Flight. Mike, I concur with your saying.
This is a dynamic day, and I think we're just playing it too close here.
We've got anvils within 20 miles and over the launch trajectory. It's just not a good day for launch.
LAUNCH CONDUCTOR: Copy and concur. Discovery launch director.
STEVE LINDSEY: Go ahead.
LAUNCH CONDUCTOR: Well, Steve, sorry to break your string, but we're not going to make it today.
So appreciate your support, both from the crew and the whole launch team,
and the team worldwide trying to get this vehicle off the ground today. It's not a good day to launch the shuttle, so we're going to try again tomorrow.
LINDSEY: We copy all and concur, and it wasn't our time today and we'll launch when we're ready. And hopefully tomorrow will look better.
LAUNCH CONDUCTOR: NTD, launch director that's a scrub this attempt.
OK sir, I copy that.
