NASA’s first step in its return to the moon faces possible delays following a storm and a fuel leak. Follow our live coverage.
NASA got a late start on fueling the rocket overnight when a thunderstorm came within five miles of the launchpad around midnight Eastern time. Once the storm passed, crews began fueling the rocket: First, the liquid oxygen, which was going well, and then the liquid hydrogen. That’s when sensors at the base of the rocket detected a leak. NASA stopped the fueling, then started and stopped again in a fitful effort to keep the launch on track.
A little before 5 a.m. Eastern time, NASA started filling the upper-stage tanks and, shortly thereafter, the main-stage tanks had been fully fueled without additional leaks.
