NASA’s preparations for the launch of its Space Launch System rocket today, Saturday, September 3, have been interrupted by a hydrogen leak issue. The issue occurred during tanking, in which the rocket is filled with fuel ahead of the launch, and is currently ongoing.
The liquid hydrogen leak occurred just before 7:30 a.m. ET on September 3, with hydrogen leaking from a quick disconnect cavity. The flow of the hydrogen was halted so that engineers could work on the quick disconnect to get it to seal correctly, in an operation that lasted around half an hour.
