A long hold: recycle to T-10
Astronaut · Who you talk to: The launch director
The issue at T-3 minutes takes longer than 3 minutes to clear.
What this case adds
- Recycle the count to T-10.
- Try again only if the launch window still allows it.
Critical fails
- Answering "Go" with an open problem in your system.
- Waiving a mandatory launch constraint after the terminal count has started: it cannot be waived.
- Holding more than 3 minutes between T-6 and T-1:30 and pressing on instead of recycling to T-10.
- Not knowing the abort or emergency procedure for your role.
