NASA will conduct a fuel test on September 17 for the Artemis 1 mission
NASA has finally completed the critical repair of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. Engineers Friday also replaced the seal on a 4-inch hydrogen discharge line responsible for a minor leak during the August 29 launch attempt.
Once the new gaskets are in place, NASA plans to run a fuel fill test to verify that they are working as intended. NASA hopes to successfully complete this test as early as September 17. “This demonstration will allow engineers to check the new seals under cryogenic or extreme cold conditions as expected on launch day and before proceeding to the next launch attempt,” the agency said. said.
