SLS rocket launch Artemis mission canceled due to bad weather – IT Pro – News

The launch of the Artemis rocket, scheduled for September 27, has been postponed. Due to the disappearance of tropical storm Ian, NASA has decided to postpone the launch. The space agency will announce a new launch date on Sunday.

NASA meteorologists expect the storm to turn into a hurricane, but it is unclear exactly how the storm will develop. Therefore, NASA has decided to postpone the launch of the Artemis rocket to another date, the space agency reports on Saturday.

The agency will decide on Sunday what the new launch date will be. So he also decides if he wants to take the rocket back to the Kennedy Space Center meeting room. Preparations are currently underway for this. If the hurricane has not passed and the weather does not improve before October 3, the next chance will occur no earlier than October 17.

Recently, NASA has successfully completed all the steps completed for filling his Artemis rocket with fuel. Although there was a leak at a junction, the technicians were able to intervene in time and refueling could resume after some time.

Update, 10:27: An earlier version of the article claimed that the Artemis rocket had already been returned to the Kennedy Space Center meeting room. However, this had not yet happened. That is why the article has been changed.
