00:05We are standing down today's launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue

00:10that will take us beyond our launch window.

00:13We are reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt.

00:16So, we've scrubbed today's NG1 mission to give the team more time to work that issue

00:22and we're reviewing what other things that we might need to get done in that period.

00:30When we know when the next opportunity is, of course, we will let everybody know.

00:36Now, to give the viewers a sense of what happens next,

00:39the launch team is now working to detank and save the vehicle.
