This time the cause was an unstoppable fuel leak. The next launch attempt could take place on September 5 or 6.

The US space agency NASA has postponed the launch of the NASA Artemis-1 lunar mission for the second time in a week. On Sunday, September 4, the Air Force reported.

It is noted that this time the launch of the SLS rocket was canceled due to a fuel leak.

Engineers tried three times to seal a leak in a pipe that carries liquid hydrogen to the booster tanks, NASA said in a statement.

This is the second launch cancellation. On August 29, this also did not happen due to a hydrogen leak.

On the morning of September 3, dispatchers sent a team to fill the rocket’s hydrogen tank, but an alarm sounded, indicating a leak. The controllers were unable to stop the hydrogen leak. The problem was found at the junction where the hydrogen was pumped into the ship.

Now NASA has one more chance to launch the rocket on September 5 or 6. After that, the spacecraft must be returned to the shop for inspection and maintenance, which will lead to further delays.

Artemis-1 is part of America’s massive lunar program. This includes flying around the moon and returning back to Earth. The Orion ship with the mannequins on board will be delivered to Earth’s natural satellite by a superheavy SLS launch vehicle.

The duration of the flight is 37 days.

Remember, on Monday, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration canceled the launch of the Artemis 1 lunar rocket due to engine cooling problems.

Earlier, NASA released some images in preparation for the launch of the Artemis 1 mission to the moon.
