The launch of the Space Launch System launch vehicle with the Orion spacecraft on September 3 was canceled due to a hydrogen leak.
NASA’s next attempt to launch the Artemis 1 lunar mission could take place on September 23 or 27, but only if the agency fixes the leak and receives critical clearance from the US Space Force. Space.com reported it.
Specifically, the US Space Force requires NASA to test a 98-meter SLS rocket every 25 days. This process assumes that the launch vehicle must leave the launch pad and return to the hangar.
Extending this could avoid weeks of additional delays that would result in the Artemis 1 launch having to be pushed back to October.
It was earlier reported that NASA has postponed the launch of the NASA Artemis-1 lunar mission for the second time in a week.
