NASA has chosen next Saturday (3) as the new date for the launch of the Artemis I mission: the agency reported a two-hour window starting at 2:17 p.m. local time – Kennedy Space Center in Florida – at 3:17 p.m., Brazil. in.
US Space Force meteorologists are predicting favorable weather conditions for Saturday, despite the possibility of occasional rain during the launch window.
The new attack comes after the cancellation of the first attempt on an integrated test of NASA’s Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and ground systems on Aug.
According to the space agency, mission managers met Tuesday (30) to “discuss the data and develop a future plan for solving problems that arise during the launch attempt.”
In the first raid, crews were unable to cool the rocket’s four RS-25 engines below minus 250°C and engine 3 had the highest temperatures. Next, a hydrogen leak was detected in the quick disconnect component of the SLS.
NASA teams are setting up platforms that will allow engineers 29 to access the area where the leak occurred and make assessments and corrections if needed.
Over the next few days, crews will modify and implement propellant loading procedures, which includes testing for engine cooling approximately 30 to 45 minutes before the countdown during the liquid hydrogen fast-charge phase for the stage.
The launch can be followed live from the video below, where the official broadcast from NASA will take place.
