Engineers to start repairing SLS by Friday

40 minutes before launch NASA officially announced that mission Artemis I would have delayed. The reason (explained in a simplified way) was a problem that prevented engine 3 from cooling down for starting. According to Mike Sarafin, mission leader, the engine priming system, which is responsible for temperature control during the launch phase, is the failure that led to the delay.

Sarafin is confident that the engineers will be able to fix the problem by the next release window, September 2, next Friday. “Friday is definitely in the game. We just need some time to analyze the data, but the team is gearing up for a 96-hour cycle.” Some optimism comes from the fact that the engine is not the problem.
