The capsule is expected to splash down in the Pacific Ocean on Dec. 11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Artemis I mission finally got off the ground after two attempts \u2014 one in late August and another in early September \u2014 were called off because of a faulty sensor and a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of hydrogen fuel leaks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The flight was also thwarted by stormy weather. The rocket was rolled back to NASA\u2019s Vehicle Assembly Building in late September ahead of Hurricane Ian, which caused catastrophic damage across southwestern Florida. Last week, the agency was again forced to reschedule the Artemis I launch as Hurricane Nicole slammed into Florida\u2019s east coast on Nov. 10, making landfall more than 70 miles south of the launch pad, according to NASA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This time, the huge SLS booster did manage to rocket into orbit, although the countdown to liftoff was not without its own drama. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Shortly before 10 p.m. ET, intermittent leaks of liquid hydrogen were detected from a valve at the base of the launch pad. The leaks were different from the ones that forced NASA to call off the first two Artemis launch attempts. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The agency opted to send a highly trained &#8220;red team&#8221; of two technicians out to the launch pad to torque down bolts on the valve. The work occurred close to the mostly fueled rocket, within what&#8217;s known as the blast danger area, and was thus closely monitored by safety teams, agency officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Despite running around 40 minutes behind schedule, engineers were able to fix the leak and proceed with the rest of the fueling process and the countdown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Artemis is named for the goddess of Greek mythology who was the twin sister of Apollo. If this and subsequent test flights are successful, the agency could send humans to the lunar surface as early as 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As part of the Artemis program, NASA envisions regular missions to establish a base camp on the lunar surface before it eventually ventures to Mars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The much-anticipated Artemis I test flight launched after more than a decade of work by NASA to develop a megarocket that surpasses the capabilities and size of the iconic Saturn V rockets used during its Apollo moon program, which had its last flight in 1972. The initiative has been criticized over the years for being years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">At a House <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science<\/a>, Space and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a> Committee hearing this year, NASA Inspector <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Paul Martin said the agency will likely have spent $93 billion on the Artemis program from 2012 to 2025. He said each Artemis launch is expected to cost around $4.1 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"endmark\">If it succeeds, Artemis I will be followed by a planned Artemis II test flight, tentatively scheduled sometime in 2024. That mission will launch four astronauts in the Orion spacecraft on an expedition around the moon. After that, NASA said, the Artemis III flight will include the first woman and the first person of color to land on the moon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
