There are those who still believe there is a "leak" problem with the tanking, which would be exacerbated by extreme cold weather (creating wider gaps in metal and rubber flanges). But I will as aver, keep a good thought, for the very brave crew. Here's the latest:
. . .NASA is targeting Monday, Feb. 2, as the tanking day for the upcoming Artemis II wet dress rehearsal at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, as a result of weather. With this change, the first potential opportunity to launch is no earlier than Sunday, Feb. 8. . . .
Over the past several days, engineers have been closely monitoring conditions as cold weather and winds move through Florida. Managers have assessed hardware capabilities against the projected forecast given the rare arctic outbreak affecting the state and decided to change the timeline. Teams and preparations at the launch pad remain ready for the wet dress rehearsal. However, adjusting the timeline for the test will position NASA for success during the rehearsal, as the expected weather this weekend would violate launch conditions.
. . .NASA will wait to set a launch date until teams have reviewed the outcome of the wet dress rehearsal. . . .
Now you know -- and I do see you -- in the cold! Smile.
