SLS Update Continued
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson says the Artemis 1 mission management team will determine whether to make another launch attempt Monday or Tuesday, or roll the Space Launch System moon rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building for repairs and re-testing.
If the rocket has to return to the VAB, the Artemis 1 launch will be delayed to October. The next launch period opens Sept. 19 and closes Oct. 4, but it's more likely that the flight would be pushed back to a launch period opening Oct. 17.
"We'll go when we're ready," Nelson said. "This is part of our space program -- be ready for scrubs."
The Artemis 1 launch team has entered into a 48-hour countdown recycle to preserve the chance to try another launch attempt as soon as Monday.
