The daylong demo had barely begun when hazardous hydrogen fuel began escaping at the same place and same time as before.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s new moon rocket sprouted another fuel leak Wednesday as engineers tested the plumbing ahead of a launch attempt as early as next week.
Wednesday’s results will determine whether the 322-foot rocket is ready for its first test flight, a lunar-orbiting mission with mannequins instead of astronauts. After the previous delay, NASA replaced two seals. One had a tiny indentation; it measured a mere one-hundredth of an inch. Wednesday’s objective: pumping nearly 1 million gallons into the rocket, with minimum leakage. That would put NASA on course for a possible launch attempt Tuesday, provided the U.S. Space Force extends the certification of batteries on board that are part of the flight safety system.
