- nordsieck 2y ago> I think the booster was redesigned after the accident That is correct. I believe they added: * An extra seal * A "J-Leg" carved into the insulation[1] that acts as a sort of pre-seal > I guess/hope the opportunity was seized to make a design that would be less sensitive to orientation. I guess, we'll see how things shake out. --- 1. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2020/12/artemis-1-schedule-uncertainty-sls-booster-stacking/2/ https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2020/12/artemis-1-schedule-u...
