While NASA officials stressed that Artemis 1 continues to be a challenging mission, they stated they are confident in the upcoming launch attempt on Nov. 14.

Artemis 1 will have a 69-minute launch window that opens at 12:07 a.m. EST (1707 GMT) on Nov. 14, during which it will attempt to send the Orion spacecraft to lunar orbit.

"It won’t be PlayerUnknown’s Metaverse, just like it isn’t Tim Berners-Lee’s Internet," said Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene. "It has to be owned by everyone."

NASA's moon rocket is safely back inside its hangar as Hurricane Ian approaches Florida, its launch now unlikely before mid-November.

NASA rolled the SLS rocket back into the mammoth Vehicle Assembly Building for protection at Kennedy Space Center ahead of potential impact from Hurricane Ian.

NASA officials will be discussing the rollback of Artemis 1 Tuesday (Sept. 27) to shelter from Hurricane Ian. The livestream starts at 2 p.m. EDT.

The launch of the uncrewed space vehicle was scheduled for Tuesday but is being pushed back because Tropical Storm Ian might hit Florida next week as a hurricane.

The space agency had hoped to launch its SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft to the moon on Tuesday.

Once launched, the crew capsule atop the rocket will be the first to orbit the moon in 50 years.

NASA's new moon rocket sprouted more fuel leaks in a test ahead of a possible launch attempt next week.

NASA is gearing up for a fueling test of its Artemis 1 moon rocket on Sept. 21 that could keep the huge vehicle on track for a liftoff less than a week later.

Sept. 23 is no longer an option for the launch of NASA's Artemis 1 moon mission. The agency is now targeting Sept. 27, with a possible backup date of Oct. 2.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson will discuss the legacy of JFK's Rice University moon speech Monday (Sept. 12) at noon EDT (1600 GMT), and you can watch it live.

During a press conference on Thursday, space agency officials said they were eyeing Sept. 23 or Sept. 27 as possible dates for the launch.

NASA hopes to make another attempt at launching the lunar Artemis I mission later this month, but needs to clear a series of obstacles.

The Artemis program is NASA’s flagship deep-space human exploration program, meant to return astronauts to the moon for the first time since the last of the Apollo missions, in 1972. Saturday’s flight, known as Artemis I, is the first in a series of test missions. It would send the Orion crew capsule in orbit around the moon for about six weeks without any astronauts on board. The next flight, Artemis II, scheduled for some time in 2024, would send astronauts into lunar orbit but not to the surface of the moon. A lunar landing, Artemis III, could come in 2025 or 2026, if all goes according to plan.

Artemis — years behind schedule and billions over budget — aims to establish a sustained human presence on the moon.

NASA's new moon rocket sprang another hazardous leak Saturday, as the launch team began fueling it for liftoff on a test flight that must go well before astronauts climb aboard. For the second time this week, the launch team began loading nearly 1 million gallons of fuel into the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket, the most powerful ever built by NASA. Monday’s attempt was halted by a bad engine sensor and leaking fuel.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA’s new moonshot rules: No fighting and littering. The space agency released a set of guidelines Tuesday for its Artemis moon-landing program, based on the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and other agreements. Founding members include the U.S., Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. The coalition can say, “Look, you’re in this program with the rest of us, but you’re not playing by the same rules,” Bridenstine said. ___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

NASA has dubbed this path back to the moon Artemis, after Apollo's twin sister in Greek mythology. NASA is calling this the Artemis program in honor of Apollo's twin sister in Greek mythology, the goddess of the Moon. Other factors of the design represent the Earth, the moon and our trajectory from the moon to Mars. Currently, the focus is on the moon, but NASA sees these concepts as workable for a Mars mission, as well. Astronauts will launch on Artemis 2, and the first woman and next man to walk on the moon will launch on Artemis 3.
