NASA has restarted the countdown for the first SLS launch after concluding a faulty sensor caused the initial attempt to scrub earlier in the week.

Weather forecasts for the launch are more favorable, with a 60% chance of acceptable weather for the Sept. “We were off the script in terms of the normal tanking operation,” he said. Because of that, the data from the faulty sensor does not need to be “masked” or hidden from the flight computer for the countdown to proceed. “We do not need the sensor for flight.” “We’ve had time to go back and look at the data and compare many sources of data, and do some independent analysis that confirmed it’s a bad sensor and we’re getting good quality propellant through the engine.” This will be the second attempt to launch the SLS

It's important to note the operating system is efficient enough not to require tons of compute power, but still.

Everything that NASA learns from Artemis is meant to then inform plans for the first missions to Mars in the 2030s.

And therein lies one of the most important tests of the mission: The speed of returning to Earth. But to do that, Orion will use its own rockets (called the interim cryogenic propulsion stage, which is a modified United Launch Alliance’s Delta cryogenic second stage). While NASA is calling the Artemis I mission uncrewed, in the strictest technical sense, that is not entirely accurate. NASA will also be chilling down the engines to about 30 to 45 minutes earlier in the countdown during the liquid hydrogen fast-fill phase of the rocket.

The Obama administration proposed NASA use the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft for a crew mission to an asteroid, proving technology for an eventual human flight to Mars. NASA plans to launch the Artemis 2 mission with a crew of four astronauts on the second flight of the SLS moon rocket. The Starship will ascend back into space from the moon to link up with Orion to bring the astronauts back to Earth. The Obama White House in 2010 canceled the behind-schedule Constellation moon program, which started development of the Orion spacecraft with a different launch system than the SLS. There are scenarios on the Artemis 1 mission where lower-than-expected performance from the SLS moon rocket, such as the early shutdown of a main engine, could prompt NASA’s mission control team to revert to an “alternate mission” for the Orion spacecraft. There’s a 1-in-314 probability that a failure of the SLS moon rocket itself will lead to the destruction or loss of the Orion spacecraft on Artemis 1, according to Kathryn Hambleton, a NASA spokesperson. The main engine for Artemis 1 is a refurbished Orbital Maneuvering System engine that flew on 19 space shuttle missions. NASA pegged the overall risk of a loss of mission is 1-in-60 for the first human flight on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft. Bill Gerstenmaier, who led NASA’s human spaceflight programs from 2005 until 2019, and is now a SpaceX executive, said in 2017 that at the time of the first space shuttle flight in 1981, engineers calculated the probability of a loss of crew on that mission between 1-in-500 and 1-in-5,000. The heat shield itself is also a critical system on the Orion spacecraft that has to work for the capsule to be recovered. The Orion spacecraft can spend up to six months in space when docked to a space station. The first unpiloted mission for NASA’s Artemis moon program aims to prove out the most powerful rocket to ever launch from U.S.

Orion will make its second-closest approach of the lunar surface, coming within 500 miles (804 kilometers), on October 5. Orion will also surpass the distance record of 248,654 miles (400,169 kilometers) -- set by Apollo 13 in 1970 -- on day 10 when it loops around the moon. The service module will place Orion in a distant retrograde orbit around the moon on day 10. This maneuver will put Orion on a path to the moon. Just before reentering Earth's atmosphere, the service module will separate from Orion. The core stage of the rocket will separate about eight minutes later and fall toward the Pacific, allowing for Orion's solar array wings to deploy. If everything looks good, the team will begin fueling the rocket's core stage and then move on to fueling its upper stage. ET, Orion will make its first outbound trajectory correction burn using the European Service Module, which provides the spacecraft with power, propulsion and thermal control. About 50 minutes before launch, the final NASA test director briefing will occur. The capsule will splash down in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego on October 11. Crews will ride aboard Artemis II on a similar trajectory in 2024, and astronauts are slated to arrive at the lunar south pole in late 2025 on the Artemis III mission. The broadcast will begin at 5:45 a.m.

The SLS and Orion have been under development for more than a decade, with years of delays and ballooning costs that have run to at least $37 billion as of last year.
