BTW Pre Launch starts at 12:30. Make sure you get there early to run their system test.

Launch coverage has now started. Tune in now! Currently talking about the history of the proton rocket - it's actually pretty interesting stuff.

Certainly isn't weather problems. Postponed until 23:00 hours tomorrow local time - that's 1:00 pm ET. I suspect that pre launch coverage will once again start a half hour before.
Looks like a spacecraft problem, although they don't know the specifics yet.

The ILS Hotline states that the launch will be tried again today at 1PM Eastern Time.
The hotline reports that The vechicle is cleared for launch.
You can watch todays launch via the url listed above.
I am hoping that they replay much of the instructional video that they aired yesterday. They showed some really good stuff!
