NASA is now targeting this weekend for the next attempt at launching its Artemis I mission to the moon after a previous attempt was scrubbed due to technical issues at Kennedy Space Center.
Officials Tuesday evening said teams are prepping for a 2:17 p.m. EDT Saturday, Sept. 3, liftoff of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion capsule. It will mark the opening of a two-hour window.
The massive Space Launch System rocket will become NASA’s most powerful when it ultimately takes flight.
The mission will be the first flight in NASA’s Artemis project, a quest to put astronauts back on the moon for the first time since the Apollo program ended 50 years ago.
