NASA is preparing for the next attempt to launch the Artemis 1 mission to the moon, the long-delayed first test flight of the Artemis program.
NASAs Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft are scheduled to be rolled out to Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, at 12:01 a.m. Nov. 4.
The rocket was last returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building, about 4 miles away, in September due to Hurricane Ian.
The next launch attempt is targeted for a 69-minute window that opens at 12:07 a.m. EST on Monday, Nov. 14, NASA said.
For the Artemis 1 mission, the SLS rocket will launch an uncrewed Orion crew capsule on a 42-day journey around the moon.
Artemis 2 could see four astronauts orbit the moon in 2024, before a landing mission in 2025 or 2026, according to NASA.
The SLS is a super heavy-lift expendable launch vehicle, NASAs first since the final flight of the Saturn V, carrying Skylab in 1973. The historic test flight was originally planned for 2016.
