A deluge at Kennedy
On October 24, at Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39B in Florida, NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems performed a water flow test with the mobile launcher. This was the third test aimed at confirming the readiness of the overpressure protection and sound suppression system for the Artemis 2 mission launch. At liftoff, a massive 400,000 gallons of water will be released onto the pad to shield the SLS rocket, Orion spacecraft, mobile launcher, and launch pad from excessive pressure and the intense noise of ignition.
