Reports have been surfacing regarding NASA being alarmed over SpaceX's fueling plan for the Falcon 9. This update came right after the rocket exploded during its launch just last Sep. 1.
It has been previously reported that Elon Musk and his team are still conducting investigations on SpaceX Falcon 9's explosion. The investigation is currently being set on the cryogenic helium system right inside SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket's secondary liquid oxygen tank.
Concerns regarding the fueling process
SpaceX has neither confirm nor denied the reports just yet. Elon Musk and his team are still waiting for the completion of the investigation along with the final conclusions right before announcing the details to the public.
According to recent reports, NASA is concerned over SpaceX's planned fueling process. The concern has been brought by the fact that it will be involving people on board the spacecraft.
Elon Musk and company doesn't want to listen
Last week has seen NASA's advisory committee issuing yet another warning to SpaceX. Apparently, Elon Musk and his team seem to ignore them and are fully focus on pursuing its fueling procedures.
It was has been noted that Musk and SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell suspected that the fueling process is one of the main reasons of the blast. The explosion occurred just within 93 milliseconds during the preparation of the spacecraft.
SpaceX's process is very dangerous
Experts are blaming the use of the same fueling process especially when it happened just 30 minutes before the launch. Supposedly around this time, the spacecraft's crew would already be required to strap to their seats. With that being said, a lot of experts are already considering SpaceX's fueling process a hazardous operation. As of now, NASA is closely monitoring SpaceX's actions and will make further action once anything goes wrong on their operations yet again.
