During the test, NASA teams will load supercold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen into the SLS rocket. The cryogenic demonstration test will help NASA teams confirm that the hydrogen leak has been repaired properly. Apart from that, engineers will also evaluate updated propellant loading procedures and conduct additional evaluations. The cryogenic demonstration will be aired […]
