Engineers will remove the mega Moon rocket from the launchpad. Days after a fuel leak thwarted Nasa’s attempt to conduct key tests to validate the Space Launch System. The Wet Dress Rehearsals were aimed at validating the rocket that is poised to take humans back to the Moon.
Nasa’s rocket and spacecraft will be sent back to the Vehicle Assembly Building in Washington, D.C., for repairs. A faulty upper stage check valve and a small leak on the tail service mast umbilical are being repaired. The agency will review schedules and options to demonstrate propellant loading operations ahead of launch.
The team was working to activate the facilities needed for launch and formally begin the countdown sequence. It included practicing a synergy between the rocket, the ground control, and the mission control for the Artemis rocket.
