“The program has made progress, but the Artemis schedule poses challenges. Artemis II and III launches (planned for September 2025 and 2026, respectively): EGS is making progress refurbishing the Mobile Launcher 1 – the structure used to transport and launch key systems – and modifying elements to support crew during these missions. New capabilities are taking longer than planned, and the program has only limited time to address potential issues. […] The post GAO Report On Artemis Mis...| SLS and Orion Archives - NASA Watch

Those fears … Continue reading Episode 100 of Stories from Space is now Live!→| Stories by Williams
