NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 Space Station Science Highlights

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 Space Station Science Highlights: NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 mission is scheduled to launch to the International Space Station in early October from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Artemis I Update 27 September 2022

On Monday,NASA decided that a rollback from Space Launch Complex 39B to the Vehicle Assembly Building was necessary because of threatening weather from Hurricane Ian.Not only does it put the Orion spacecraft/Space Launch System rocket stack at risk;there is also the necessity to give staff members time to prepare themselves and their families for the imminent emergency.So the rollback began at about 11 p.m. on 26 September.This postponement may result in delaying the next launch window for the uncrewed test flight till November.

Artemis I Launch Postponed

The launch of NASA'S Artemis I uncrewed test flight,scheduled for a launch window beginning 27 September 2022,has been postponed due to inclement weather in the form of Tropical Storm Ian,which is expected to become a hurricane affecting Florida.It looks as though a rollback to the Vehicle Assembly Building could be necessary to safeguard the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft.This follows successful completion of a tanking test in which a workaround of hydrogen leaks that may crop up was verified.

When Will Artemis I Be Launched?

The answer isn't known yet.The hydrogen leak that caused the second scrub may be repairable on the pad,which could open up the date of 19 September,when the next two-week launch window begins.The problem with that is,the U.S. Space Force requires that the flight termination system be re-certified every 25 days,and to do that,you have to transport the rocket back into the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) for the necessary procedures.The flight termination system is required by the Space Force to ensure public safety,since it is what would destroy a rocket gone astray.The Space Force is in charge of the Eastern Range,including public safety within it,so it is the authority in this case.NASA may ask the Space Force for a waiver of the re-certification requirement,but the Space Force would have the final say. If the rocket must be transported back to the VAB,the launch will have to be delayed till sometime in October.Bear in mind that SpaceX is to launch the SpaceX Crew-5 mission to the ISS on a Falcon 9 rocket in early October with two NASA Astronauts,a JAXA Astronaut and a ROSCOMOS Cosmonaut on board.That means the Artemis I launch has to be reconciled with the SpaceX Crew-5 launch. The Eastern Range is a rocket range managed from Patrick Space Force Base,Florida by Space Launch Delta 45 and controls all launches from Cape Canaveral Space Force Base and NASA Kennedy Space Center.
