"As they went through their safing procedure, the team does reach a point where the engineers do brief out what the cause of the abort was. In this case you heard the SpaceX launch director discuss this  as a “GNC criteria abort.” This is computer abort that happened at T-minus 10 seconds where we’re looking at the status system and the flight hardware that supports it. It appears that something was out of limits, the computer stopped the countdown before we got into the engine ignition sequence. Unfortunately though, as we heard the launch director state, we’re not going to be able to recycle the countdown in the time that we have left in the window and make another attempt today," said John Insprucker, principal integration engineer at SpaceX, on Sunday, July 2. The data from the abort will give the launch time data on when it might be able to laugh again. There’s another launch window on Monday at the same time, around 7:35 p.m.
