Engine 3\u2019s low temps could be a faulty sensor<\/h2>\n

John Honeycutt, manager of NASA\u2019s Space Launch System rocket, stated that the data received on the ground and from the vehicle about temperatures inside the bad RS-25 engine did not match. However, there is still a chance that Engine 3 was out of norms from the other engines as it is the furthest from the bleed connections on the rocket. Honeycutt said that it is more likely that a sensor is bad however, getting access to replace the center would be difficult while on the pad.<\/p>\n

The planned fix for the bleed test issue will be to move the test earlier into the countdown, similar to how it was done during SLS\u2019 Green Run Test in February of 2021. On Monday, the test was conducted when the liquid hydrogen tanks were refueling, but this differed from the Green Run\u2019s timing. So Saturday\u2019s launch attempt would put this closer to the start of fueling.<\/p>\n

Teams aren\u2019t concerned about intertank valve leak<\/h2>\n

The second problem that scrubbed Monday\u2019s launch attempt was a possible leak found with the valve on the intertank. Artemis 1 launch director, Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, stated that the issue was with a quick disconnect seal and it was warmed up and then hit with cold temperatures. This sort of event isn\u2019t expected to happen again, so it is now a non-issue going into Saturday.<\/p>\n
