Artemis 1 has been setback after an engine computer replacement<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

The Artemis 1 mission <\/strong>launch has been held back until 12 March at the earliest, while a later launch date is looking increasingly likely. This latest delay comes after an engine computer had to be replaced in late 2021, and means the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket assembly will not be moved on to the launch pad until at least mid-February. While this would make a March launch possible, there is little room to deal with any issues that arise, increasing the possibility of a launch in April or later.<\/p>\n\n

NASA\u2019s Artemis 1 mission will serve as a dress rehearsal for future flights to the Moon and will spend several days in lunar orbit before returning to Earth. Despite the delay, NASA finished testing the core stage on 14 January and completed a countdown rehearsal on 24 January, demonstrating that the launch software is working correctly. <\/span>www.nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
