How difficult it is to go back to the Moon…
The Artemis II Lunar mission suffered another setback, as it is expected to miss the March launch window.
Reuters reported:
“NASA is taking steps to potentially roll back the Artemis II rocket and Orion spacecraft to its Vehicle Assembly Building after observing an interrupted flow of helium, the space agency said on Saturday. ‘This will almost assuredly impact the March launch window’, NASA said.”
Sky News reported:
“On Friday night, however, NASA discovered that the flow of helium – which is required for launch – to the rocket had been interrupted during a key part of the preparation process.
[…] Before the setback, the agency had announced that it was targeting 6 March to launch four astronauts around the moon and back.”
