Computers are now in control of this final segment of the launch countdown to prepare the rocket and ground systems for liftoff. There are two computers, one aboard the Ariane 5 and a redundant one at the ELA-3 launch complex, running the countdown. The problems are fixed and the countdown is being restarted. The launch pad problem has been fixed. Still waiting on the AsiaStar glitch to be resolved.
Weather conditions are currently acceptable, too.
Specific details on either problem have not been released by Arianespace. A second problem has arisen. The countdown has been recycled back to Minus-7 minutes due to an undisclosed problem with the launch pad. The weather problem has been cleared. The concern was an electrical storm risk at high altitude.
