NASA again canceled a send off of its super moon rocket on Saturday, refering to a difficult fuel spill at the foundation of the rocket that couldn't be stemmed after a few endeavors to close it.
Artemis I send off chief Charlie Blackwell-Thompson dropped the send off in Cape Canaveral, Florida, with around 2.5 hours staying on the commencement clock.
The send off endeavor on Saturday was NASA's second attempt to get the Space Launch System, the most impressive rocket at any point constructed, and the new Orion shuttle off the ground. During the office's most memorable endeavor Monday, Aug. 29, the group out of the blue experienced a few issues, including a motor that seemed not to chill as expected.
It's hazy whether the space office will attempt in the future by Tuesday or roll the rocket back to its gigantic shelter, the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), for examinations or fixes. Leaving the platform presently would mean no trip around the moon until October at the earliest, said NASA director Bill Nelson. Mission directors will meet Saturday evening to choose subsequent stages.
"We'll go when it's prepared," Nelson said.
