STS-127 scrubbed

http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/new...thewritestuff/

Yes, listening to the press conf, I think all are puzzled by the hydrogen
leak again, in that same place, which is allowing hydrogen to accumulate
inside the outer part of that disconnect.

As was mentioned, the last time it occurred it had also been on a vehicle
which had had it mated and demated. They never found a cause before, yet
something is going on.

Weird.

Is the term 'scrubbed' usually used for the launces taken of the
manifest??
On www.nasa.gov/shuttle the term 'posponed' is used... can somone tell
me the difference?

I was under the impression that "scrubbed" applied when cancellation
happens when launch procedures have gone beyond a certain point and
require they be undone (for instance, if ET is fueled, it needs to be
drained).

Postponed would be more of schedule change and they may not need to undo
any of the preparations done so far. (unless they need to roll it back
to VAB for fixes).

Walter Cronkite used to say launch scrubbed today during apollo

I do not know the origins, but I've had many meetings 'scrubbed' by emails
saying that very word. It is intriguing how scrubbed has come to mean the
current operation has been scrapped but may be occurring at another time.

Still does not explain the derivation though.

No, because that has been exceedingly rare.

"Scrubbed" I think comes from World War II Army Air Force, when the
day's mission/target would be written in chalk on a blackboard for air
crews and the like. If weather or some other factor caused the mission
to be cancelled, the blackboard would be wiped off, or "scrubbed".

Launches that are aborted for weather or technical problems have been
called 'scrubs' since at least the Mercury days. Launches that have
been totally abandoned, such as STS-41E are generally just called
"cancelled missions".

Perhaps from scrubbing a chalked wartime mission off the blackboard.
