[Satellite TODAY 10-11-10] SpaceX aborted the first static fire test for its Falcon 9 rocket two seconds before its scheduled start, the company announced March 9.
   The test included holdfire checks, S-band telemetry, C-band, and FTS simulated checks, and Space X also completed helium, liquid oxygen and fuel loads “to within tenths of a percent of T-zero conditions.” The countdown was halted at T-2 seconds due to a problem with the spin start system.
   SpaceX closed the Faclon 9’s pre-valves to isolate the engines from the propellant tank and burned-of the residual propellants. The engines did not ignite and there was no engine fire, the company said.
   SpaceX plans to perform the static fire test in “three of four days.”
