Following three failed attempts at completing a wet dress rehearsal involving its next-generation lunarrocket, NASA is now discussing when to try again.
NASA has decided to pause plans for a wet dress rehearsal involving its next-generation lunar rocket after a slew of issues over the last couple of weeks derailed efforts.
The first attempt at the rehearsal took place at the start of this month but was called off due to a fan issue impacting the rocket’s mobile launcher. It was initially hoped that the test could resume in the coming days, but on Sunday NASA announced it was returning the rocket to the assembly building to make some fixes before trying again. The pause in proceedings has also been linked to work being carried out by an off-site supplier.
