BREAKING From Bill Harwood of #CBSNews:
Something is wrong with the Northrop Grumman #Cygnus that launched earlier today on a #SpaceX #Falcon9 from #CCSFS.
*****
Mission control just alerted the ISS crew to a possible issue with the Cygnus cargo ship: "Just to let you guys know, good comm with Cygnus, we're going to have solar array deploy in about an hour. The first two burns were not performed by Cygnus, so they're re-assessing what's the current state of the burn plan."
Mission Control #Cygnus update from Bill Harwood:
*****
"Also, on the previous burns, sounds like (not understandable) erroneously stopped the burns. The Cygnus team thinks that the engines are still good, and so now it's just a matter of coming up with a new burn plan to try to still get (capture on) Tuesday. So they're still working on that. They probably won't have that by the time you go to sleep, so by the time you wake up, we'll know what the plan is."
