#Here’s when NASA hopes to launch Artemis moon mission

“Here’s when NASA hopes to launch Artemis moon mission”

NASA is targeting Nov. 14 for its next attempt to launch Artemis I, the space agency said Wednesday, after technical difficulties and bad weather forced it to delay the first uncrewed test flight of a capsule to carry humans back to the moon.

The Space Launch System rocket, which will carry the Orion spacecraft, is scheduled for blast off during a 69-minute window that opens at 12:07 a.m. EST on Wednesday, Nov. 14, NASA said on its website. The agency plans to roll the rocket to the launch pad as early as Nov. 4.

A stubborn fuel leak and the arrival of Hurricane Ian forced NASA to delay the launch of the uncrewed test flight over the last five weeks. 

The Artemis I mission signals a major turning point for NASA’s post-Apollo human spaceflight program, after decades of focusing on low-orbit missions with space shuttles and the International Space Station.

Named for the goddess who was Apollo’s twin sister in ancient Greek mythology, Artemis aims to return astronauts to the moon’s surface as early as 2025, though many experts believe that time frame will likely slip.
