BREAKING! NASA Working SLS Helium Issue; Preparing For Rollback

BREAKING! NASA teams are working a newly discovered technical concern with the Space Launch System following analysis of data collected overnight. Engineers identified an interruption in helium flow within the SLS Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) — the upper stage that performs the crucial burn sending the Orion spacecraft out of Earth orbit and onto its trajectory around the Moon. Mission managers at Kennedy Space Center are now troubleshooting the issue and preparing for a likely rollback of the Artemis II vehicle from Launch Complex-39B back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to allow additional inspections and corrective work. “After overnight data showed an interruption in helium flow in the SLS interim cryogenic propulsion stage, teams are troubleshooting and preparing for a likely rollback of Artemis II to the VAB at @NASAKennedy. This will almost assuredly impact the March launch window.” - Jared Isaacman | NASA Administrator This is a developing situation. #NASA #ArtemisII #SLS Join our community Discord! https://discord.com/invite/xCm9UpDPE4 This coverage is made possible by our amazing community!
