NASA's new moon rocket sprouted more fuel leaks in a test ahead of a possible launch attempt next week.
The NASA moon rocket for the Artemis mission stands on Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022. A hydrogen leak was detected on the rocket during a tanking test this morning. – NASA's new moon rocket sprouted more fuel leaks Wednesday in a test ahead of a possible launch attempt next week, but engineers managed to get them down to acceptable levels.
“We’ll go take a look at the data,” she said. “I’d like the team to have an opportunity to look at that before I speculate.” After hours of fits and starts, NASA finally managed to load nearly 1 million gallons of fuel into the rocket.. One seal had a tiny indentation; it measured a mere one-hundredth of an inch.
In a separate matter, NASA still needs the U.S. Space Force to extend the certification of on-board batteries that are part of the flight safety system before another launch attempt.
