The event, which was scheduled for September 3, had to be canceled after detecting a liquid hydrogen leak – and another attempt, completely ruled out due to technical failures. Second free:”The 23rd is the 80-minute window at 6:47 and the 27th is the 11:37 and 70-minute window.With”.

The next release window will run from September 19 to October 4.

Unless you receive any exceptions, the Artemis I quest will only take place in October.

If an exemption is not granted, the equipment will need to be moved to an assembly building, a procedure that will make a new attempt impossible at the end of this month, meaning the mission can only be restored in October at best. Mike Bolgerthe ground research system manager, says those in charge are working to replace the seals, thereby correcting the flaws that led to the leak that canceled one of the first mission’s initial attacks on our natural satellite in 50 years.

The procedure was scheduled to be completed last Thursday (8th), which allowed the tank to be tested over nine days (September 17th).
