Artemis I Launch to the Moon (Official NASA Broadcast)
- UPDATE: Engineers continue to troubleshoot the quick disconnect that connects the ground system to the rocket. Meanwhile, core stage liquid oxygen is currently 99% full and into topping.
- Starting to load liquid oxygen (LOX) into @NASA_SLS ’s core stage. First up is chilling the lines to make sure the umbilicals and tanks acclimate to LOX’s extremely cold temperatures; we’ll then move into slow fill before transitioning to fast fill
This week at NASA, we prepared for the Sept. 3 #Artemis I flight test, @NASAWebb imaged its first exoplanet, and the next Earth water-surveying satellite got a launch date. https://t.co/JSDausMuVv pic.twitter.com/fwxDJpwbZh
