Today’s technology – Hot shot test of the “SLS ARTEMIS” lunar rocket

NASA is preparing to make a second attempt at a critical hot-fire test for its space launch system, as part of the “Artemis” unmanned mission tests around the moon, which are scheduled to launch later this year 2021. The first hot fire attempt failed in mid-January, the missile stopped after just a minute, which should have been an 8-minute test.

NASA said a new test was scheduled for March 18. At the end of January, NASA said it was planning a second hot fire and that the extension test was initially targeted at the end of February, but was delayed after engineers discovered that a valve – part of a system that provides oxygen. Engine Fluid – not working properly, the SLS team fixed the problem and corrected the valve. This is the last part of the “Green Run” series of tests designed to verify the primary stage of the SLS before actually launching from the ground, which is the first step in mission testing. “The backbone of the SLS missile” – NASA described it.
