As @NASA_Orion prepared to return to Earth some of our team took a moment to send a thank you note to space. Thank you to the @NASA_SLS, @NASAGroundSys, and @ESA teams and contractors in all 50 states and 10 European countries for sending us on this fantastic journey!
Houston, we have a new record 🌎
On Saturday Nov. 26, at 8:40 a.m. ET, @NASA_Orion broke the record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth of a human-rated spacecraft. The record was previously held by Apollo 13 at 248,655 statute miles from Earth. Go Artemis!
When we go, we go together.
The #Artemis team wants to thank everyone who helped us along the way toward the first launch of the @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion.
LIVE NOW: The @NASAArtemis I mission is en route to the Moon. Hear from NASA leaders on the events of this morning and what's next for @NASA_Orion. https://t.co/1BJ5v1mzt9
The #Artemis I mission to the Moon has been postponed. Teams attempted to fix an issue related to a leak in the hardware transferring fuel into the rocket, but were unsuccessful. Join NASA leaders later today for a news conference. Check for updates: https://t.co/6LVDrA1toy
Teams have stopped flowing liquid hydrogen into the @NASA_SLS rocket, as a leak has been detected in the engine cavity. Teams are troubleshooting by warming up the area. Standby for updates.
A lot has to go right tomorrow for #Artemis I to lift-off - It’s complicated to launch a new vehicle for the first time. Our team is prepared if the hardware and weather cooperate.
There are no guarantees that we’ll launch, but that won’t stop us from trying.
The launch of #Artemis I is no longer happening today as teams work through an issue with an engine bleed. Teams will continue to gather data, and we will keep you posted on the timing of the next launch attempt. https://t.co/tQ0lp6Ruhv
The cumulus cloud rule is now "red" at the Kennedy Space Center as a rain shower approaches the Artemis 1 launch pad.
NASA's launch team continues troubleshooting work on the problematic bleed flow for Engine No. 3 on the core stage.
