NASA has finished its testing on the SLS Moon Rocket, which will let NASA launch in the upcoming months.
NASA have officially said that they will not conduct another fuel and countdown test. According to The Washington Post, they have said that a launch could come as early as August. NASA said that this test was like a wet dress rehearsal with 700,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and hydrogen. There was a hydrogen leak, but NASA didn’t seem to care a lot about it. As Charlie Blackwell-Thompson told The Washington Post, “It was a great day.”
NASA clearly thinks that this project to the moon will help them a lot and it will be successful. NASA also plans to return astronauts to the moon with this SLS project. According to The Washington Post, NASA is supposed to launch the SLS Moon Rocket somewhere around August 23rd to September 6th.
The launch will send Artemis I and the Orion Capsule, and they will be part of the launch in the next few months. They will be launched and they will have the job of orbiting the moon for about the next year or two. There will not be any astronauts on this spacecraft. The next launch will most likely happen next year in 2023. This launch will send the Artemis II, and NASA hopes that it will also be able to put four astronauts on the Orion capsule, helping NASA return to space.
