NASA engineers made several repairs to the hydrogen supply system over the weekend, and the next attempt to launch the SLS rocket will take place on September 27. If this is not possible then, a second attempt will be made after five days.
NASA must first conduct a cryogenic test, which will consist of filling the rocket’s fuel tanks to check for leaks and verifying that the pressure in the fuel lines is within normal limits.
The exam was originally scheduled for September 17, but will be held on September 21. If all goes well with this test, a launch attempt will be made on September 23, during a 70-minute window (12:45-1:55 p.m.).
Another option is September 2, when the launch window will be longer: 109 minutes, starting at 2:52 p.m.
The launch also comes with something very important: the continued certification of the batteries for the pyrotechnic self-destruct system, a system that activates if the missile risks endangering people on the ground after launch. The announcement has not yet been made.
