Recently a NASA administrator said there was no company’s first launch date for the launch system (SLS). However, the administrator said that NASA would immediately set the date of the target launch, but the target was likely to be the beginning of 2022. Another NASA administrator named Bob Cabana recently participated in the Maryland Business Roundble Webinar held on September 30.
At the event, Cabana talked about the launch of Artemis I. Administrator said there was no date of launch that had been decided but suggested it was impossible before the end of 2021. Cabana hopes that NASA will have a strong launch date afterwards and it is expected to be early next year. NASA hopes Artemis, I can have lunch before the end of the year.
Previously, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson told reporters on September 21 that Artemis I will launch at the end of this year or in the first part of next year. Cabana did say that NASA recently completed “Capital Testing” Rocket SLS, which involves lowering the vehicle to vibration to determine natural frequency.
The next main milestone for SLS projects will attach the Orion spaceship. Orion will be transported to the vehicle assembly building at the Kennedy Space Center on October 13. After Orion was mounted to the top of the SLS rocket, it would be moved to launch a 39B complex for the wet dress training, where it was filled with liquid oxygen and filled with liquid. And liquid hydrogen.
The exercise dress will see the launch countdown starts but stops before the main engine will turn on. After the successful test, the rocket will be returned to the vehicle assembly building for each of the remaining work before returning to Launchpad for his first launch.
