A problem in the computer software of the Centaur upper stage has scrubbed todays launch.
At T minus 4 minutes, the anomaly team felt that there was not enough time to track-down the fault in the sensors and software that measure the amount of fuel being loaded into the rocket.

The launch was rescheduled for Friday morning.
