Artemis 1 Finally Completes All Of Its Fueling Tests

Keith’s note: despite some persistent Hydrogen leaks, the leakage rate was kept under control and within established criteria such that NASA was able to fully fuel the first and second stage LH2 and LOX tanks today – and then put engines and other systems through required pressurization and temperature tests. Unless something changes the next launch attempt will be on 27 September.

   So glad to see they finally completed the wet dress rehearsal. Now why couldn’t they do they months ago?

   So instead of the Senate Launch System, we can just call it “Old Leaky”, then?
