A faulty valve and fuel line cause delays until August<\/p>\n\n

Artemis 1 has returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building for repairs, but NASA is still optimistic about a launch, at the earliest in August<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Artemis 1 was rolled back off the launch pad on 25 April, following three failed attempts at its wet dress rehearsal \u2013 when the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is filled with fuel and runs through the launch countdown procedure \u2013 in early April.<\/p>\n\n

These tests revealed a hydrogen fuel leak in one of the rocket\u2019s umbilical lines and a faulty valve on the upper stage, meaning it had to return to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) for repairs. The 5.6km journey back to the VAB took 10 hours, arriving at around 6am on 26 April. The team hope to have the rocket ready for an August launch.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll absolutely go back out; we\u2019re absolutely going to do a wet dress rehearsal,\u201d said Tom Whitmeyer, NASA\u2019s Associate Administrator for Common Exploration Systems Development. \u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of what\u2019s the right time, what\u2019s the right way to do that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
