NASA says it hopes to attempt another launch of the unmanned Artemis I moon mission later this month after scrubbing a planned launch due to a liquid hydrogen leak. Artemis I is planned as an uncrewed flight test around the moon.
NASA’s Artemis I rocket sits on launch pad 39-B after the launch was scrubbed at Kennedy Space Center on September 06, 2022 in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The announcement came shortly after NASA scrubbed a planned launch over the weekend because of a recurring liquid hydrogen fuel leak.from the U.S. Space Force, which controls the range where Artemis will take off from. Meanwhile, NASA engineers continue to repair the connection on the rocket where the liquid hydrogen leak was detected. Officials said they would conduct a tanking test to ensure the repairs were successful before any future launch.
