Nasa reports engineers are “making progress repairing the area”. Specifically, teams have replaced the seals on the Space Launch System rocket’s core stage associated with the leak. A line used to fill and drain liquid hydrogen from the core stage and a bleed line used to redirect some of the propellant during tanking operations were removed and replaced this week.
