SCRUBBED

Today's Antares launch was aborted at about T minus 12 minutes after an umbilical came loose from the second stage of the rocket. Turn-around time is about 48 hours, but a new launch time has not been scheduled yet.

The rocket has to be safed, the umbilical problem has to be checked, and the weather forecast has to be considered before the launch can be rescheduled.
