NASA announced that it will make its next attempt at launching the Artemis 1 mission on Monday, November 15. The space agency plans to launch the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft during a 69-minute launch window that starts at 12.07 AM EST (9.37 AM IST) on that day. The spacecraft will […]

Last week, NASA successfully crashed the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos in what is humanity’s first planetary defence test. Elsewhere, the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft had to be rolled back into the space agency’s Vehicle Assembly Building to protect the stack from the effects of Hurricane Ian. Read about […]

NASA is standing down from its Artemis I mission to the moon next week, as a tropical storm off the coast of South America creeps toward Florida and the agency’s launch site for the Space Launch System rocket. The US space agency said it will decide on Sunday whether to roll the rocket and spacecraft […]

Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are both cryogenic gases, meaning that they can only be liquified at extremely low temperatures. Due to this, the fuel poses enormous technical challenges. Liquid hydrogen must be stored at about minus 217 degrees celsius and should be handled with extreme care. The tanks of rockets fuelled with liquid hydrogen […]

NASA’s new moon rocket sprouted more fuel leaks Wednesday in a test ahead of a possible launch attempt next week, but engineers managed to get them down to acceptable levels. There was no immediate decision on whether NASA would try for a liftoff Tuesday given the sporadic nature of the hydrogen leaks, which have bedeviled […]

NASA is on track to conduct an Artemis 1 cryogenic test demonstration starting on September 21. Since the last failed attempt to launch the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, the space agency’s teams have analysed the seals that were replaced on an interface for the liquid hydrogen fuel line between the rocket and the mobile […]

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 […]
