First Ground Test of the Ares I Five-Segment Solid Rocket Motor
Re-Sked
Alliant Techsystems Space Systems and NASA have finally
identified the issue that resulted in the scrub of last week's test
of the Ares 1 solid rocket motor system. A component of the ground
controller unit, which sends power to the system that moves the
nozzle during the test, failed and has been replaced.
