After completing repairs to a hydrogen leak on a quick disconnect seal, NASA announced a potential launch attempt on September 27 with a backup date of October 2 under consideration. Deciding to attempt launch that day depends on two things. The Space Force is still considering a waiver for the Flight Termination System battery life. NASA also needs to do a cryogenic demonstration test on September 21 to verify that the leak is repaired. This will be similar to the wet dress rehearsals. Stay Tuned for more updates on the Artemis I mission.
