Holds & Scrubs

"Holds" are built into any countdown, but it's the unexpected holds that get people biting their nails when they know it's past the scheduled time for the rocket to launch. The flight could even be "scrubbed" (cancelled), and folk's standing by the shore of the Indian River might not even know it.

space.launch.info is now providing a service to notify people of holds in the countdown, and scrubs if they occur, via SMS (Short Message Service), the text messaging service of your mobile phone.

Companies interested in sponsoring the service should contact Robert Osband by dialing 3-2-1-Liftoff (+1 321 543 8633).

If you'll be along the Indian River or Atlantic Coast
waiting for a launch, sign up for SMS Text Messages
to be sent to your mobile phone with the latest launch
hold, and scrub updates.



The service is free. Your regular
text messaging rates will apply.
