Experts use a system that will be used to terminate the flight if necessary for safety reasons.
Engineers are testing a system designed to destroy the Space Launch System’s lunar rocket in case of problems during the upcoming launch, scheduled for August 29. Space reported this.
NASA last week certified the critical ejection system on the Space Launch System rocket, the final test before the rocket is supposed to enter Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
It was noted that the Launch System rocket was supposed to send an uncrewed Orion spacecraft around the moon and back as part of the Artemis 1 mission.
Artemis 1 was an uncrewed test flight designed to test the Orion space capsule and SLS rocket for possible crewed missions to the Moon. If everything goes well, then in 2024 there will be a flight around, and in 2025 – a landing on the moon.
Earlier it was reported that the NASA spacecraft called SOHO, using its instruments, recorded the fatal descent of a comet on the Sun.
