At a briefing yesterday, Nov. 14, NASA officials said they were continuing preparations for the launch, scheduled for Nov. 16. In other words, by tomorrow, Wednesday, the rocket must go to the side. space.
Weather forecasts call for 90% chance that conditions will be acceptable for the planned launch. The briefing came after a mission leadership team meeting that discussed two outstanding issues that had not been resolved the day before.
One of them had to do with the electrical connector. for the hydrogen tail mast umbilical at the launch site, which showed certain malfunctions when turned on. Technicians replaced the system cable overnight to fix the problem.
second problemSeriously this was due to a loose material called silicone curing at room temperature., or RTV, on the Orion spacecraft. This material, a kind of sealant, seals the gap between the Orion crew module and its aborted launch system.
As we continue to monitor Tropical Storm Nicole, we have decided to reschedule the launch of the mission. #Artemis I on Wednesday, November 16, pending safe conditions for employees to return to work. https://t.co/o48LCveRPI

About ten feet of RTV came off during Hurricane Nicole, raising concerns that more could come off during flight. Logical fear, since the flight phase The space launch system accelerates from Mach 2 to Mach 3.5.
And the density of the atmosphere in this phase is still high enough to be within Land (as opposed to when they go into outer space) so that any falling material slows down, creating a stronger impact.
When and how to watch the launch of Artemis 1 to the moon
launch rocket from the launch pad will pass Wednesday at 7:04 am in Spain, so we’ll have to get up early enough to see the rocket take off towards the moon. This is the mission this issue belongs to.
NASA, as usual, will broadcast the takeoff through their social media profiles. (Twitter and Facebook) and on his YouTube channel. There it can be seen an hour before launch in a special frame from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral (Florida, USA).
Over the past few months, this launch has been very diligently tried to get off the ground, but technical failures and time worked against the Artemis mission.
I hope tomorrow, November 16, 2022, will be the day and NASA can send to the moon the rocket it needs to conquer the stars.
