NASA eyes late September for its next attempt to launch the Artemis moon mission

The Artemis I moon mission is expected to be launched later this month.

The space agency is looking at Sept. 23 or Sept. 27 as possible dates.

Shortly after NASA scrubbed a planned launch due to a recurring liquid hydrogen fuel leak, there was an announcement.

The U.S. Space Force controls the range where Artemis will take off from.

"If they decide that is not the right thing to do, we obviously will support that and stand down and look for our next launch attempt," said Jim Free.

NASA engineers are repairing the connection on the rocket where the liquid hydrogen leak was found. They would conduct a tanking test to make sure the repairs were a success.

The team is moving in the right direction. It's a good thing that morale is good. Mike Bolger is the manager of NASA's Exploration Ground Systems program.

There was a second cancellation within a week. There was a faulty sensor that scuttled the first attempt to launch the rocket.

Artemis I is going to be an uncrewed flight test.
