Next Artemis Launch Attempt To Face Significant Delay

Be Prepared For A Roll-Back

By Wes Oleszewski, ANN Space Correspondent While everyone in the media is talking about the LH2 (Liquid Hydrogen) leak in the Space Launch System’s quick release connector, one small detail is somewhat overlooked. When the current lunar launch window closes on Tuesday September 6, 2022, the certification date for the batteries in the vehicle command destruct system also expires. There is no way to re-certify the system at Launch Complex 39B because there is no access arm to that area of the booster. The only way to re-certify the system is by way of the access platforms in the VAB.

F-22s, P-51s, F/A-18s, F8Fs, and More Set to Make Appearances at Upcoming Reno Races

This year will see an impressive return to form for the races as they sport a full lineup of the best performances around. For the first time since 2014, the F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team will make its return under Air Force Major Joshua "Cabo" Funderson & co. put the fighter through its paces. They won't be alone, having the Air Force Heritage Flight's P-51 Mustang flying beside them.
