NASA announced that the start of the unmanned lunar mission Artemis, which had to be suspended this Saturday due to a technical problem, will not take place this Monday or Tuesday but later on a date to be determined early next week. It will most likely be after the departure of the Crew-5 mission, which means in the second half of October,” the US space agency said in a message on Twitter. “Safety is top of the list.” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, who downplayed Saturday’s suspension of the launch, saying failed attempts are part of space programs. The launch cancellation was, according to NASA, because “teams found a liquid hydrogen leak while loading propellant into the core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. It was tried by pumping fuel back into the rocket, so “the launch director has canceled the attempt scheduled for today,” the space agency said in a message on the Artemis mission website. to test the capabilities of the SLS and the Orion spacecraft before a manned trip to the Moon initially planned for 2024, which will be followed by a third in which for the first time since 1972 American astronauts will set foot on the lunar surface. Nelson stressed in the press conference that the mission is not going to start “until everything is fine” and that it is ruled out to do so in this launch period, whose last date is this Tuesday. The next period starts on September 19, but the most The probable one is the one that begins on October 17. The NASA officials who accompanied Nelson at the press conference, Jim Free and Mike Sarafin, said that it is still undecided if the enormous SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft at the tip will be reviewed on the launch pad or if it will be taken to the vehicle assembly building at the Cape Canaveral space complex (Florida). The task that comes now is to understand the problem that arose this Saturday and find solutions, said Mike Sarafin, administrator of the Artemis mission at NASA headquarters. This Saturday was the second failed attempt to launch the rocket that will take the Orion spacecraft to orbit the Moon in a mission of 37 days, 23 hours and 53 minutes. The first was on August 29 and had to be canceled due to a failure in one of the 4 rocket engines, which measures 98 meters and cost 4,100 million dollars. This Saturday’s cancellation occurred about 3 hours before the scheduled to open the launch window, which was 2:17 p.m. local time (6:17 p.m. GMT). The mission schedule established 2 other launch opportunities, this Monday and Tuesday, but the mission managers decided that it is better to review the coh Please leave before trying again.” We’ll go when we’re ready. This is part of the space program — get ready for a lot of failed attempts,” said NASA Administrator, former Senator Bill Nelson.
