From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A launch status check, also known as a "go/no go poll", is a numbers of checks in which rocket operators are asked if systems are ready before a launch can continue. The Launch director states if a mission is go for launch. The check makes sure that the aspects of the mission are ok and ready to be used, so that the chance of an emergency is less likely to happen. [1]
