The next launch attempt of Artemis 1 could occur as soon as Monday (Sept. 5).
NASA engineers repeatedly tried to staunch the fuel leak during the Artemis 1 countdown. First, they tried to warm the tank connector and chill it with cold fuel to reseat the hydrogen quick disconnect connector. Next, engineers tried to repressurize it with helium, and then returned to the warm-and-chill method to stop the leak. All three attempts failed.for NASA's Artemis 1 moon mission, means the agency will have to wait until Monday at the earliest to make its next launch attempt.
"We'll go when it's ready. We don't go until then, and especially now on a test flight," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in televised comments after the scrub."This is part of the space business.""This is not a letdown," Glover told reporters here after the scrub."This is understanding how these things work, these really incredibly complex machines that we want to try to integrate human beings in.
If NASA has to roll Artemis 1's SLS rocket back inside its Vehicle Assembly Building hangar for repairs, the launch will slip to October, Nelson said. NASA already plans to launch four astronauts to the International Space Station onin early October, so an Artemis 1 launch that month would be later in the month.
NASA currently has a 90-minute window to launch Artemis 1 on Monday, with liftoff occurring at 5:12 p.m. EDT . If the agency doesn't try to launch Monday, it could try on Tuesday , but the launch window is slim, just 24 minutes. A Tuesday launch, if attempted, would occur at 6:57 p.m. EDT , NASA has said.
