Oh, potentially back to a Thursday roll-out instead of Friday #ArtemisII

NASA@NASA

Due to quicker-than-expected completion of closeout activities, Artemis II rollout may now begin as soon as Thursday, March 19. A final decision will be made on Wednesday. More info: go.nasa.gov/419QL5d

The NRO having "fun" on their website, a rather juicy PDF with images of previously classified satellites (Including FARRAH and more) has a "typo" in its URL on the main page... figured it out though, direct link to the PDF below :) nro.gov/Portals/135/do…

Roll-out to the pad for Artemis II is now this Friday the 20th due to electrical harness for the flight termination system on the core stage needing replacement #ArtemisII

@octoberskyshow I'm no prop expert but looking at it, there are 2 systems, the ESC (on the same aft ICPSU) was used and didnt have the seal issue, the helium line, did have the issue with the QD seal, so they switched (because they can on ground, not during flight) 2 ways to push helium

English

Lahiru Udara@octoberskyshow·13 Mar

I don't understand. Jared said ground helium supply was working, it was the onboard supply had an issue. But during the FRR press, they said the issue is with a seal in QD. So I am confused. If they had an issue with QD, how were they able to supply helium from the ground purge when the problem occurred?

- FRR gave a 'Go' for the mission pending completion of work needed in the VAB and Pad - Roll-out planned for the 19th of March - April 1st still targeted launch date - April 2nd added as possible launch date (19:22 local) #ArtemisII

@NASASpaceflight @_MaxQ_ no additional WDR planned, per x.com/SpcPlcyOnline/…

Marcia Smith@SpcPlcyOnline

Re Thursday's Artemis II update bfg, which is after the Flight Readiness Review (FRR), I asked if that meant there won't be another Wet Dress Rehearsal. They said that's correct, no more WDRs are planned, but after the FRR will decide "if any additional reviews may be needed."

Artemis II Agency FRR (Flight Readiness Review) today. Traditionally, this is when the launch date is announced. We should at least expect a date for rolling back out to 39B and any integrity/WDR tests they want to conduct ahead of launch. Max Evans (@_MaxQ_) photo:
