All console operators in the Atlas Spaceflight Operations Center reported a "ready" status during the pre-fueling poll just completed by the launch conductor. The ULA launch director voiced his approval as well. Loading of cryogenic liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen into the Atlas 5 rocket will be getting underway a short time from now. Liftoff remains targeted for 12:48 a.m. EST.
Kinda late but I might go outside and take some photos.

Perfect weather and,
SCRUB! Engineers are unable to resolve the technical issue that had cropped up. Launch has been postponed.

"To recap, the launch team had been working a technical issue and running lab tests. But in the end, officials were unable to determine the exact cause of the glitch and decided that launch would have to be postponed. A specific explanation of the problem is expected to be provided by United Launch Alliance shortly.

It is unclear if another launch attempt will be possible tomorrow night or if the Atlas will be delayed until after the planned Monday liftoff of the space shuttle Atlantis. "
