T-6:35:30 to Possible Scrub or RUD on launch

Eat your peanuts

Fast fill will continue for another hour or so

Core stage leak testing LH2 topping and replenish started. . It always leaks, just need to make sure it doesn't leak TOO much

The Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) RL10 liquid hydrogen engine system purge is now complete.

FYI the abort rocket has a fake motor, and fake fuel on board. so if there is an issue the ORION capsule will be lost

Also FYI if one of the 4 main engines fails, the craft can still abort to orbit abd do a secondary mission in low earth orbit

Follow

Core stage liquid oxygen is now full and in 'topping' mode.

Everything going as planned, even a little ahead of schedule.

all waiting for the fucking to happen


The interim cryogenic propulsion stage main propulsion system, which will give
the power needed to begin it's journey to the Moon, is now in fast fill for LH2 and LOX.


Good shot of happy venting from the upper stage. This will "kick" the Orion capsule into a trans lunar injection (get to the moon) on a 4 day journey

90% weather go for launch.
LOX fast fill complete for upper stage
T-3:36:00


T-03:15:00
Intermittent leak in the core stage being monitored. not an issue at the moment low enough to not be an issue
Upper stage still being fast filled with LH2

T03:12:30
Stop flow order has been issued for Core stage.

There it is, the Fuckening

just trying to see how bad the leak is i think


This is the coverage of the Big Orange monster in florida you should be watching

Red crew might be going to pad to check for leaks

MASA
MAKE ARTEMIS SCUB AGAIN!


"Teams are discussing a plan to send out the 'red crew' to the pad to torque packing nuts at the base of the mobile launcher."

Make Artemis Scrub again!

"Torque packing nuts" was not on my bingo card today. Does Artemis have a safe word?


Launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson has just given the 'go' for the specialized 'red team' to enter the Launch Pad 39B to tighten bolts on a valve on the mobile launcher.

@Kinnison They are prepping the Red Team to go look at it but it's not a good sign... crap
