deepest love to michelle crag barak, kelly, and the sixth, irrepressible grandchildren whom she helped to raise. and so loved and in whom her kind and gentle spirit lives on marion robinson was 86 the skis cnn breaking news hello everyone. thank you for joining me. i m alison chemla radha in for fredricka whitfield today. so we do have breaking news out of florida, nasa officials are expected to speak soon. this will be the first time that they re speaking since rubbing the launch of boeing s historic starliner test flight today, an automatic hold stopped the countdown clock with less than four minutes to go. the two astronauts who were headed to the space station are now back at crew quarters after leaving the capsule. a short time ago cnn space and defense correspondent kristin fisher is live from the kennedy space center for us. so kristen as you explain to us, while we were all waiting and watching and hoping this what happened, this potential launch has been in the m
is my 37th year at nasa today. and i ve been doing this human spaceflight for thank thank you. long, long time. and every time you go to the pad for a crewed flight, or really any flight, you ve got a chance of scrubbing. so the team did took the right steps. we weren t really to go today. and turiel talk more about that. and i ll turn it over to mark nappi now all right. thanks, everybody for coming out this afternoon the spacecraft and the launch team did a great job today. the spacecraft performed extremely well. steve talks about the helium system it turned out that the when the system was brought up, the team looked at the information really quickly got us the leak rates and ended up being no action required so that s what we expected on the cabin, on the suit fans as we went from ground power to
spacecraft power or slight increase in voltage. we have a fault detection system that pick that up. it did what it was supposed to do, and it turned the fans off. our team, reacted just like they re supposed to very quickly and they cycled them back on again. so that work just as we would like it to for tomorrow or whenever we try our next our next launch attempt, will have that figured out and will we ll either let the same thing happen and see if there s the same voltage or we ll just go in and turn them off and turn it back on again. so the team s work in that and we re fine for the next attempt we re in a 24 hour scrub turnaround and we re trying to preserve that opportunity and will stand by while you i lay does their troubleshooting, and then we ll take either that opportunity or the next one to come like steve said, this is the business that we re in everything s got to work perfectly, like we ve talked before. today, we ve got really close it didn t work
issues and there have been many issues with the boeing starliner spacecraft over the years. this is an issue that was caused by the united launch alliances computers that power the atlas five rocket and propels the boeing starliner spacecraft into orbit. in terms of how they re feeling, allison steve stich to is one of the nasa managers here. he said, it is a little bit disappointing, but this is kind of the way spaceflight is and he s right. i mean, these kinds of things, if it s not the whether it s the software or it s a faulty sensor, or it s a sticky valve. i mean, those are the little teeny tiny things that always tend to lead to these scrubs and they do happen all the time, but they are especially careful and cautious for a first crewed test flight like this 111 all right kristin fisher, we will hope to see you back here. same time tomorrow. if they re going to try again, thanks so much for all the information all right.
