The Artemis 1 mission could still be launched soon.

NASA reported that it had successfully completed all assigned tasks related to analysis and repair after two previous launch cancellations.

All objectives of the cryogenic demonstration test have been met, and the teams are now embarking on important safety and preparation activities to empty the rocket's tanks. By detecting a hydrogen leak early in the loading process, the engineers were able to fix the problem and proceed with the planned actions.

The four main goals included evaluating repairs to repair a hydrogen leak found in a previous launch attempt, loading fuel into the rocket tanks using new procedures, performing a launch bleed, and performing a pre-pressurization test.

At the same time, NASA is in no hurry to claim that it will try to launch the rocket again in the near future. The agency says experts must first assess the data of the procedures performed, the weather and other factors. If all goes well, the launch could take place as early as September 27th.

Recall that Artemis 1 is the first mission to return Americans to the moon. Artemis 1 does not mean manned flight, not even landing on our satellite. Instead, the unmanned Orion spacecraft will spend several days in orbit around the moon. However, Artemis 2 already implies a manned flight, and Artemis 3 - the landing of astronauts on the moon.
