While there are no humans on board Orion this morning, there are some characters who have made it.
As Sky's David Blevins found out ahead of one of Artemis's missed launches in the summer, both are made of materials that mimic the soft tissue, organs, bones, lung, and brain tissue of a woman to test how radiation passes through the body. Launch attempts on 29 August and 3 September were aborted because of fuel line leaks and other technical problems that NASA has since resolved. Apollo, Galileo, Phoenix, Voyager - NASA missions have had some pretty cool names over the years.
Each of the two boosters generates more thrust than 14 four-engine commercial airliners, according to NASA, and will fire for 126 seconds, providing more than 75% of the vehicle's thrust before they break off.Overall, it will fly further than any spacecraft built for humans: 40,000 miles past the far side of the moon and 280,000 miles from Earth.NASA's pre-launch live stream has begun from Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida.
Mission managers convened on Monday - which was the fourth date set for the launch until its latest delay - to give the"go" to proceed toward this morning's lift-off. This morning, ground teams at Kennedy Space Center filled the main fuel tanks as final preparations got under way - and managed to plug a leak that could have seen the launch scrubbed once again…This morning's launch is the first part of a three-stage mission which will likely take us up to at least 2025.
Weather is also a big focus of the test mission, with galactic cosmic rays presenting the biggest risk to future crews.
That’s 3 days in a row KayBurley is coughing & spluttering through interviews. Give the lassie a day off for goodness sake.
They are still not sure
