With 56 minutes to go, the digital clock just to the right of the video screens inside India's Satish Dhawan Space Centre's press briefing room suddenly stopped. With no live-stream video and only a stopped clock to watch, it was clear something was not quite right with the lunar lander-rover mission.
Twelve minutes before the scheduled launch, the Indian Space Research Organisation, India's space agency, tweeted: "A technical snag was observed in launch vehicle system at T-56 minute. As a measure of abundant precaution, #Chandrayaan2 launch has been called off for today. [A] revised launch date will be announced later."
