After NASA scrubbed it’s uncrewed Artemis 1 mission due to hydrogen leakage problem, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shares a possible solution.
On Saturday, NASA called off Artemis 1 launch because of Hydrogen leakage. Engineers spent around 3 hours to fix the problem but ultimately failed and the launch was cancelled. The current launch window will close on Tuesday and if NASA failed to fix the problem before that then they have to wait until late September or early October for launch.
NASA said “Because of the complex orbital mechanics involved in launching to the Moon, we would have had to launch Artemis I by Tuesday, Sept. 6 as part of the current launch period”.
