Launch abort! After a brief unplanned hold at T-11 minutes to allow the time for a boat to clear the hazard area, an automated scrub was called at T-2 minutes, 40 seconds. From NASA (via Twitter):

Preliminary indication for tonight's launch scrub from Wallops Flight Facility is attributed to a piece of ground support equipment.

Assuming a 24-hour recycle, the next launch attempt on Friday (Oct. 2) would be at 9:16 p.m. EDT (0116 GMT Oct. 3).

From NASA (via Twitter):

We are GO to launch the Antares vehicle tonight, Oct. 2, at 9:16 p.m. EDT after a ground software issue scrubbed the launch last night. The issue has since been resolved.
The live stream will begin at 8:45 p.m. EDT on NASA TV.
