Next step unclear #artemis #hydrogenwoes /Dzn071T8qW- Richard Tribou Septem10:16 a.m. “Currently we’re in acceptable condition to hold, the launch team has the liquid oxygen in a stop flow configuration safe at this time, and just waiting a decision from the launch director.”Īnd third time's not the charm as stymied with LH2 leak for tanking. “She has received their no go recommendation, but wants to hold off - some additional thoughts and conversations are being developed about the situation and where the rocket stands, and said she will revisit it momentarily,” he said.
| No scrub decision yetĭerriol Nail with NASA communications said Artemis launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson is conferring with Artemis mission manager Mike Sarafin before a decision on whether or not to scrub today’s launch attempt after NASA engineers gave her a “no go” recommendation on launch when they were not able to solve a liquid hydrogen leak during tanking Saturday morning. The fill line is the same as the drain line, so now “the team is focused and working diligently on the drain conditions,” Nail said. Teams are now working to drain the liquid oxygen from the upper part of the core stage, as it had reached 100% capacity - 196,000 gallons - half of which has to be drained before any of the LH2 can be drained from the lower part of the core stage. Each window has only certain days during which the Earth and moon are in the right position for the mission. 4, but that would run up against the planned launch of a SpaceX Dragon for the Crew-5 mission to the International Space Station. 6, it has to stand down until at least the next available window with potential dates between Sept.
It’s uncertain if NASA will be able to try again for its next attempt window on Monday, which also could slip to Tuesday. However long that takes, it’ll be worth it.” And they want to make sure that when people go up in this thing they do it safely. Naysayers want instant gratification and they don’t understand that thousands of people work on this thing and they want to see it work. “People think you can take something that’s this complicated and this many things that have to go right, you can’t afford to make those kind of mistakes. It’s not gonna dissuade us in the least, he said. “We’re gonna be big supporters of this no matter what. It makes you forget about your differences. “We knew this was a possibility,” David said. The Georgia couple left their home at around noon for an expected seven-hour drive and arrived at a Brevard County hotel at 9:30 p.m. Traffic was heavy on the way to the Space Coast. So you just drive back when it’s ready.”ĭavid, 52, and Janna West, 44, both of North Atlanta had dropped everything Friday night and got on the road. Thankfully we live here in Florida and we’re retired. “Look it’s $4.1 billion every time it goes up. “I’m disappointed but better safe than sorry,” Arnold said.

“She said plan a seven-day vacation to Florida, and you might see a launch in there too,” Free said. NASA’s Jim Free, associate administrator for the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate said in July that scrubs were certainly a possibility, noting what NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy would tell her family when they came to see her during her launches when she was an astronaut. Two missions from the space shuttle program endured six scrubs before finally lifting off on their seventh attempt - STS 73 in 1995 and STS 61-C in 1985. But the fifth try was an almost flawless six-day mission. “We were delayed over the better part of a month. House of Representatives on board Space Shuttle Columbia in 1986 had four scrubs before it finally took off. I’ve told you before and you know it’s something I’m accustomed to,” noting that his one mission to space when he was in the U.S. Nelson once again explained how the scrub of Saturday’s attempt to launch the Artemis I mission to the moon was a normal part of spaceflight. | Nelson echoes scrub comments from Monday
