NASA is targeting 2:17 p.m. EDT on Saturday, Sept. 3, for the launch of Artemis I, the first integrated test of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, Orion spacecraft, and the ground systems at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. There is a two-hour launch window for the next attempt.
The Artemis I flight test is an uncrewed mission around the Moon that will pave the way for a crewed flight test and future human lunar exploration as part of Artemis.
Live coverage of events will air on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website at:
UPDATE: D'oh!! Scrubbed again!
SCRUB. NASA launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson has officially declared a scrub for today's Artemis 1 countdown after troubleshooting attempts failed to fix a hydrogen leak.
