Experiencing same issues.
Around 3pm cdt on 9/9/15, I and many others had difficulty reaching tower. Took 3-4 attempts each. It was getting kind of funny, my friends would suddenly join my party chat and the first thing they would say is, "could you guys get to the tower?" It was like a broken record...
Around 7:30pm cdt on 9/10/15, I and one other still had to take 2-3 tries to access tower.

Yeah, today I actually had no problems with the tower PERIOD. I looked on Bungie.net/help and saw that they said they were trying to fix the problem. Looks like they (partially) succeeded.
