NASA's new -generation moon landing rocket was postponed again. Previously, the laboratory -absorbing device was hit by lightning!

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] According to a report by the United States Cable TV News Network on the 29th, the US "Space Launch System (SLS)" heavy rocket originally planned to perform its first launch task at 8:33 pm on August 29th, Beijing time The problem of unable to cool and potential cracks on the main fuel box postponed the launch again.

About two hours before the scheduled launch time, the National Aeronautics Aerospace Agency (NASA) updated the news of the NASA engineer at the Rocket Core RAS-25 hydroxide engine on the official website. According to the report, as the rocket's low -temperature pushing agent was injected into the rocket, the NASA team found that a core -class engine temperature control seemed to have problems. In addition, they also found that the engine's main fuel box failed.

40 minutes before the Rockets' scheduled launch time, NASA suspended the countdown, and the NASA ground engineer began to formulate the next fault exclusion plan around the situation where the core engine could not cool down.

At 8:44 pm Beijing time, NASA officially announced the cancellation of the launch task of "Artemis 1" on the day. The next step of NASA's task team will quickly solve the problem of engine fuel leakage. After grasping the relevant data, post the next launch time to the public.

The United States Cable Television News Network reported that after the launch task was canceled, the next launch window will be on September 2nd or September 5th, eastern time, but it is unknown whether the above failure can be resolved before.

The National Broadcasting Corporation reported that the launch task of "Artemis 1" was also known as the "most powerful rocket ever" - "Space Launch System" heavy rocket. The long -awaited prelude to the long -awaited return of NASA. The ultimate goal of the plan was to send US astronauts to the moon again as early as 2025.

Earlier, the launching mission of the "Space Launch System" heavy rocket had been postponed many times due to compression failure and new crown pneumonia epidemic.

Just as the scheduled 48 -hour countdown, Florida Kennedy Space Center continued to encounter thunderstorms. The 39B transmitting table of the "Space Launch System" was hit by lightning. The lightning protection device includes three lightning protection towers and wires of about 182 meters high, so that the carrier rockets and the vented spacecraft are damaged by lightning strikes. And NASA's preliminary data shows that the power of lightning strike is not great. (Fan Wei)
