Launch commentator Miles O'Brien reports that "the problem has been fixed," the fuel line has been cleared, and liquid oxygen is being loaded onto the Module 1 craft in preparation for a 90-second rocket flight that could be worth $350,000 for the Armadillo Aerospace team at the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge.
The timing could be tight: Armadillo has benefited from some time-outs for air traffic, because this year's X Prize Cup is an air show as well as a rocket show. Nevertheless, even if Module 1 completes the flight successfully, the rocket will have to shut down and be carried back to the official finish line on the runway - probably with just minutes to spare on the 150-minute clock.
