NASA's Artemis 1 火箭助推器12月报废，无论是否发射

NASA's Artemis 1 moon rocket boosters could expire in December, launch or not

s the launch date for NASA's Artemis 1 moon mission continues to get pushed back due to glitches and storms, a deadline for its solid rocket boosters is quickly approaching.

The launch of Artemis 1 — which will use a Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, aided by two boosters, to send an uncrewed Orion capsule to the moon — was once again delayed, this time until no earlier than Wednesday (Nov. 16) due to the impending arrival of Tropical Storm Nicole on Florida's Space Coast. Satellite images show Nicole currently looming in the Atlantic Ocean next to NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC), generating wind speeds up to 70 mph (110 kph) as it closes in on the center's Launch Pad 39B, where the Artemis 1 stack sits, ready to ride out the storm.

Now that the Artemis 1 moon mission has been delayed once again, there are concerns that some of its hardware may expire prior to launch. For example, several key deadlines concerning the mission's two solid rocket boosters, built by Northrop Grumman, are approaching. If Artemis 1 has not launched by mid-December, NASA will have to analyze the boosters to see if they are still launch-worthy past their current expiration dates.

During a media briefing on Nov. 3, NASA officials told reporters that several components of the SLS vehicle's boosters are approaching their current expiration dates, based on the most recent analyses that team members have conducted.

Cliff Lanham, senior vehicle operations manager of the Exploration Ground Systems Program at KSC, told reporters that a countdown begins as soon as a rocket is stacked. That countdown is currently ticking down for the Artemis 1 vehicle.

"When you stack your first segment on the aft segment, you start a clock that was originally 12 months," Lanhan said. "It's currently been analyzed up to 23 months, and that expires. One piece expires on the ninth of December of this year, and the other one is the 14th of December of this year."

Another environmental exposure rating expires on Dec. 15, he added.

If Artemis 1has not launched by those dates, the mission team would have to conduct further analyses to determine if the expiration dates on the rocket's various components could be extended, said Jim Free, associate administrator of the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C.

"Each of them has a different revisit date — that's my term — when we have to go back and redo the analysis and look at the assumptions in the analysis. And it's really more a function of when do we feel like those assumptions are no longer good and the boosters fall into that category," Free said during the Nov. 3 media briefing. "I think I would be doing our team and you a disservice by saying we can just go forever, because I don't think that's the case. I think we look at the analysis every time with a different set of lenses thinking about what else could have changed."

NASA is currently eyeing a two-hour window for the launch of Artemis 1 opening at 1:04 a.m. EST (0604 GMT) on Wednesday (Nov. 16). If successful, the launch will send an uncrewed Orion capsule into lunar orbit and back. The launch will be the first mission of the Artemis program which will eventually see humans return to the moon near the lunar south pole in 2025 or 2026, with the ultimate goal of establishing a permanent base on the moon.

必须的。同样情况换了土鳖，大概率只管偷偷发射，成了就自吹自擂，输了就不发新闻，也是一种民主，叫做全过程民主！服不服？

[letsrock]

不如来个干脆的

[TofE]

赶紧发了吧，听个响也行啊

[tywodx]

不能射。不射就心中有梦，射了就梦醒时分

这是啥？这就叫美式的贪污腐败。

这玩意上好多零件，出厂都快3年了……

中国的现在不都在油管上直播了吗？

[pinfish]

全过程合法，哪来的贪污腐败？

[tang21]

美式的东西就是好，都是把不合法的立为合法的，比如说投钱贿选，在其他国家就是非法的，在美国就不，美其名曰政治献金或者是游说。
其他的小玩意比如氯洗鸡，激素肉这类其他国家绝对的犯罪行为就更不在话下了，在美国统统全过程合法。
