This meant the arm could not safely disengage from the rocket. This technical glitch along with fuel temperature and pressure fluctuations caused multiple automatic countdown resets. Repeated holds in the final seconds of the countdown forced the launch team into troubleshooting which ultimately caused the propellant tank temperature and pressure readings to rise out of optimal limits forcing an abort -
