NASA is set to make its second attempt to launch the Artemis I rocket today, September 3, 2022. It will be the first integrated test of NASA’S SLS Rocket, Orion spacecraft and the ground systems at the agency’s Kennedy Space center in Cape Canaveral, Florida at 2:17 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). 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. The launch will be the second attempt at the mission, after the initial launch attempt on August 29 had to be called off due to technical issues including a problem with one of the rocket’s four main engines. The weather during the launch is expected to be favourable, with a 60 per cent chance that conditions with permit the launch to go through.
