Lansarea rachetei SLS a fost amânată de NASA. Iată care este cauza – FOTO, VIDEO

Installation of Orion adapter for first Artemis lunar flight. Technicians at NASAŐs Kennedy Space Center in Florida are working to install an adapter that will connect the Orion spacecraft to its rocket for the Artemis I mission around the Moon. This is one of the final major hardware operations for Orion prior to integration with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The spacecraft adapter cone (seen at the bottom of the stack) connects to the bottom of the European Service Module and will later join another adapter connected to the top of the rocketŐs interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS). During the process to install the cone on Orion, the spacecraft is lifted out of the Final Assembly and Systems Testing, or FAST, cell and placed into the Super Station support fixture. Orion is NASAŐs next exploration spacecraft to transport astronauts to the vicinity of the Moon and to the Gateway orbiting the Moon. The spacecraft will hold four people and send them farther than any humans have travelled from Earth. ESA is supplying the European Service Module for Orion, in an arrangement that stems from the International Space Station partnership. Based on ESAŐs proven Automated Transfer Vehicles for supplying the Space Station, the module will provide everything to keep the astronauts alive, including oxygen, water, thermal control, electricity and propulsion.,Image: 552453589, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: WORLDWIDE RIGHTS AVAILABLE.
