Space agency officials say a recent test was a success, despite a leak.
For NASA’s Artemis 1 moon rocket, the fourth time may be the charm. On Monday, the rocket completed two days of tests, including simulated countdowns and fueling—the first practice run after three attempted trials earlier this year. The recent dress rehearsal nearly prepared the Space Launch System rocket andAround 8:45 a.m. Eastern time on Monday at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the crew filled the rocket with 700,000 pounds of cryogenic fuel.
“It was a long day for the team, but it was a very successful day,” NASA Artemis launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson told reporters Tuesday during a press conference. Loading the liquid oxygen and hydrogen propellant, and reaching the final seconds of the terminal countdown, were “amazing milestones,” she said.During NASA’s three previous practice runs in April, multiple hardware issues surfaced and forced the rocket to undergo repairs for six weeks.
