阿尔忒弥斯2号浸水试验
NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems conducts a water flow test with the mobile launcher at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center’s in Florida on Oct. 24, 2023. It is the third in a series of tests to verify the overpressure protection and sound suppression system is ready for launch of the Artemis II mission.
During liftoff, 400,000 gallons of water will rush onto the pad to help protect NASA’s Space Launch System rocket, Orion spacecraft, mobile launcher, and launch pad from any overpressurization and extreme sound produced during ignition and liftoff.
Artemis II is the first crewed mission under Artemis and will test all the Orion spacecraft’s systems with astronauts aboard.

2023年10月24日，NASA的探索地面系统在佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心用移动发射器进行水流测试。这是一系列测试中的第三次，以验证超压保护和声音抑制系统已准备好发射阿尔忒弥斯2号任务。
在发射过程中，40万加仑的水将涌入发射台，以帮助保护NASA的太空发射系统火箭、猎户座飞船、移动发射器和发射台免受点火和发射过程中产生的任何过压和极端声音的影响。
阿尔忒弥斯2号任务是阿尔忒弥斯计划下的第一次载人任务，将与宇航员一起测试猎户座飞船的所有系统。
