The first stage engine steering checks just finished. Technicians will take the next few minutes to review the data from tests to confirm all went per the plan.

T-minus 15 minutes and holding. Clocks have entered the first of two planned hold periods during the final portion of the Terminal Countdown. This pause will last 20 minutes in duration.

These holds are designed to give the launch team a chance to deal with any problems and catch up on work that could be running behind schedule.
