Today's attempted launch of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) was scrubbed because of a problem with the fueling of its Centaur upper stage.
Engineers discovered the anomaly in the automatic fueling procedure less than an hour before the extended deadline for launch today and were unable to manually override the computer program controlling it.
The MRO is due to be launched tomorrow at approximately 7:45 a.m.
