KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – Bad news for NASA Artemis II launch! An issue with interruption of highly purified helium gas flow was detected in the ICPS upper stage during testing overnight Feb. 21 at Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida forcing rollback to the VAB. Helium is required in various SLS systems for pressurization and
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER/TITUSVILLE/CAPE CANAVERAL, FL – We had a few opportunities to photograph NASA’s Artemis II moon rocket from locations on the Kennedy Space Center as well as off site from Titusville along the Indian River lagoon – as the 2-day long Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) cryogenic fueling and simulated countdown was in progress since the evening of Jan. 31.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – The first WDR (wet dress rehearsal) cryogenic propellant fueling test for the Artemis II moon rocket ended early overnight Feb. 2/3 when it was halted due to serious hydrogen leaks that plagued the test at multiple points throughout the day and evening. NASA is now working to fix the hydrogen leaks which reached a dangerous
