NASA is gearing up to launch its Artemis I moon mission at 2:17pm EDT on 3 September.

The uncrewed mission around the moon which will set the stage for a crewed test flight and future lunar exploration as part of the Artemis project.

Intended as the first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will provide a foundation to extend human presence to the Moon and beyond.

The mission will demonstrate the performance of the SLS rocket and test Orion’s capabilities over the course of about six weeks as it travels about 40,000 miles beyond the Moon and back to Earth, NASA said.

The mission was originally set for launch on 29 August but was called off when launch controllers were unable to chill down the four RS-25 engines, with one engine showing higher temperatures than the other engines.

Teams are currently analysing data, updating procedures, and checking out hardware to address the issues, NASA said.
