The next launch of NASA's Artemis rocket could happen as soon as September 23. The agency said engineers are working to repair the area of a hydrogen leak.
Engineers are repairing the area where a hydrogen leak was detected during the last attempt last weekend.
They have disconnected the quick disconnect interface for the liquid hydrogen fuel feed line and have begun to replace two seals. One seal surrounds the eight-inch line used to fill and drain liquid hydrogen from the core stage, and another surrounds the four-inch bleed line used to redirect some of the propellant during tanking operations.
