Affected by the tropical storm, NASA postponed the launch of rockets to the moon. What are the conditions for launching?

NASA delayed the launch to 16, and the conditions required for this rocket to launch to the moon are very harsh, not only the conditions of the rocket itself, but also various external environments.

First, their own conditions

The rocket to the moon is more than just launching a satellite into outer space. As long as the orbit of the satellite is slightly deviated, as long as it can be launched to a similar position normally, it can be adjusted appropriately. But landing on the moon is not feasible, and any deviation will threaten the life safety of astronauts. Moreover, at the time of launch, the detection of various equipment and the running status of external and internal equipment need daily inspection. Once the problem is found, the launch will be postponed, and only when it reaches 100% perfection will it enter the launch state.

Second, the environmental conditions

This time, due to the influence of tropical storms and the appearance of hurricanes, the launch was delayed. The launch of the rocket itself is to pass through the atmosphere. The more stable the weather environment above the atmosphere, the easier it is to succeed. Once unstable meteorological conditions occur, it will affect the overall state of the whole rocket launch: derailment, external shedding, equipment failure, communicator failure and so on. In order to avoid this unpredictable risk, the external environment must be kept within the controllable range, and it is best to launch in a calm time. Otherwise, the extension is normal. After all, if it really fails, the loss of manpower and material resources is immeasurable and it is impossible to fail.

Third, social conditions.

In fact, the social conditions are easy to understand, and this condition is to create momentum. It's best to start announcing that you are going to launch a rocket to the moon a few months in advance. Then, after receiving the attention of the whole world, when this fever rises to a peak and starts to launch, it can not only show its country's scientific and technological strength in front of the world, but also play a deterrent role, killing two birds with one stone.
