perfectly accurate, but it ll give you an idea of what we re talking about. so this is the bow, the boeing starliner capsule and spacecraft on top. this is where the two nasa astronauts are. what s below it is the atlas rocket. and this is what s going to propel the starliner spacecraft into orbit. this right here is called the rocket s upper stage. it s the center and there was an issue here during that first scrub back on may six. now, an issue again, but different. it s an issue with a sensor for a topping valve, essentially a valve that tops up the fuel inside this upper stage of the rocket they went about through about an hour of checks trying to figure it out. they ended up switching to a backup system. they think they ve got it fixed. so we are now go for launch and i should just point out, allison, the capsule is made by boeing. this whole rocket is made by the united launch alliance. so different company that s what the issue was with, as i
this. here s here s something else that might be nerve wracking for our viewers to hear so there s not a delay. this is the latest thing we re hearing, but they are dealing with an issue in the fan that apparently controls the temperature of the space suits. tell us how serious that is as i understand it, i went i went to silent. i was trying to follow along with mission control, but they have a problem in the suit. they got up, butch got up pressure it looked like a pressure of caution light for his suits, so they had the crew to open their advisors to let them get just some fresh air. they have a backup system in my my understanding was the ground is troubleshooting and trying to find out whether they need to switch to the backup system to allow them to go ahead and launch. but it s not anything with the vehicle. this is actually in the suit itself. kristinn or anything you re hearing on the ground, there yes.
New Jersey's public transit agency said Friday it is scrapping plans for a backup power plant that would have been fueled by natural gas, heartening environmental justice advocates who targeted it and several other power plants in largely minority areas. NJ Transit said it is redirecting $503 million in federal funding that would have been used to build the backup system, called the TransitGrid Microgrid Central Facility, to other resiliency projects scattered around northern and central New Jersey.
