You can watch the release live above, live updates starting at 12:30am: 4pm – Cryogenic tanking has started and looks good. This process takes 6 hours to complete. 5pm – Rapid refueling of liquid hydrogen in center stage underway. 5:30 pm – Engine bleeding finished with some leaks, but it was within range and then subsided. 6:30 pm – Center stage liquid hydrogen fast filling completed. Now, there is a change to “topping mode” where the propellant is refilled. 7:30pm – Crews run an hour and 20 minutes early. They said it was “the cleanest countdown ever”. Full info below: NASA held a teleconference Monday night to discuss the upcoming Artemis 1 launch. The date for the launch was earlier set for November 14, but NASA changed the date. Until Wednesday 16 November due to Nicole. It is scheduled for Wednesday at 1:04 a.m. with a two-hour launch window. The spacecraft will launch a series of Artemis missions with the goal of establishing a permanent base on the Moon. It would eventually lead to astronauts exploring Mars. NASA leaders met Monday to discuss preparations for the next launch attempt, which they determined is on track for Wednesday. Weather alone did not delay success. Its initial launch was scrubbed on August 29, mainly due to engine-cooling problems. On September 3, its second scheduled launch date, a hydrogen leak was discovered, pushing back the timeline. The spacecraft was completely undamaged by Hurricane Nicole. Officials said some of the planets in the Orion launch pad system came loose during the storm. Technicians are also involved in replacing the power connector. But NASA said the connector would not prevent the launch. “We knew we had redundancy in these other measurements, and we were still OK to launch. The consensus recommendation from the team was that we were in a good position to go forward. Start the countdown with these measurements,” said NASA Deputy Administrator Jeremy Parsons. . As for weather, there is an 80% chance of favorable weather for the launch. “Temperatures should be near 70 degrees with winds out of the south-southwest. A steady 10 to 15 knots at 200 feet,” said Melody Lovon with NASA. One of the popular places to view the launch is not available at this time. Jetty Park and campground will be closed. Crews are still cleaning up debris left over from Hurricane Nicole and the park will not be cleared by opening time.
