H2-Whoa! NASA Swamps Launch Pad with Water in Awesome Deluge Test (Video)







That big inflection bucket in the water park has nothing in NASA. 



	

	Last week, the space agency conducted two tests of the water flood system at Launch Complex 39B in Florida's Kennedy Space Center, and they were a sight to behold. 

		Huge columns of water jumped 100 feet (30 meters) to the sky, then fell on the platform with tremendous and rumbling roars. The recently published video of one of the tests, conducted on October 15, shows the dramatic action.

On October 15, 2018, NASA successfully tested a water flood system at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which will reduce the extreme heat generated by the rocket launches of the agency's Space Launch System.

		These tests of the system of "Protection of overpressure of ignition and suppression of sound" are part of the work that NASA is doing to prepare the takeoff of the megarocket of the agency Space Launch System (SLS). This reinforcement is programmed to Fly for the first time in the middle of 2020..

		The inaugural launch will send NASA's Orion capsule on a three-week trip around the moon, an unmanned test flight known as Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1).  

		"During the launch of Exploration Mission 1 and subsequent missions, this water flood system will release approximately 450,000 gallons [1.7 million liters] of water through the mobile launcher and the flame deflector to reduce the heat and extreme energy generated by the rocket during ignition and takeoff " NASA officials wrote in a description of the recent flow test in Pad 39B. 

		NASA is developing the SLS and Orion to help astronauts reach the moon, Mars and other destinations in deep space. The huge and powerful rocket should also help planetary robotic exploration, allowing such missions to reach their distant targets much faster than it has normally been possible, officials with the agency said.

		Orion has a test flight with no crew under his belt. In December 2014, the capsule was launched into Earth orbit on a heavy United Launch Alliance Delta IV rocket and completed two rounds around our planet before falling into the Pacific Ocean. 

		NASA also tested the Pad 39B water flood system in May of this year. The system was updated between that previous test and that performed last week, officials of the agency said.
