NASA's second attempt to run a "wet test" of the Space Launch System (SLS) for its Artemis II mission was successful. Following a failure of some seals during the first attempt earlier this month, NASA pushed the launch back to March to conduct additional tests.
The agency held a press briefing to discuss the results of the redo wet dress rehearsal at 11 a.m. ET on Friday. During the briefing, Artemis launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson said the leak repairs proved to be “rock solid” and that there was “really no leakage to speak of.”
