The countdown began this morning at 04:00 local time. There was a hold at T-03:30 due to too high winds. The launch vehicles remained in their shelters for most of todays countdown, but was eventually elevated to vertical position. At T-02:00 there was a new hold due to undesirable launch conditions. The countdown was scrubbed at 10:40, local time. A practice countdown was conducted afterwards, focusing on the last 12 minutes.
