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 […]

Mission managers planned to meet later in the day to decide on a course of action. After Tuesday, a two-week launch blackout period kicks in. Extensive leak inspections and repairs, meanwhile, could require that the rocket be hauled off the pad and back into the hangar; that would push the flight into October, Nelson said.“We’ll […]
