NASA's Moon Mission Will Now Launch in November

The US space agency NASA has postponed the Artemis 1 mission. Through this mission, NASA is once again beginning its goal of sending humans to the Moon. However, due to technical difficulties in the SLS rocket, the mission has not been launched yet. The recent Hurricane Ian affected this mission. It is said that now this launch can be done in November.

Recently, NASA reported that it inspected the Kennedy Space Center facilities in Florida after Hurricane Ian passed. The agency says that the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft were not harmed by this storm. The rocket and spacecraft were pulled back from the Vehicle Assembly Building on September 27, just before the storm hit.

According to the information, attempts to launch this mission during the following launch window have been rejected by NASA. NASA has time from October 17 to October 31 but has decided to try in a launch window of November 12 to 27. This means that the Artemis 1 mission will now be launched in November.

In a statement, NASA said the focus for launch in November will give Kennedy Space Center employees time to meet the needs of their families and homes after Hurricane Ian. Also, the teams will have enough time to reach the launch pad.

On August 29, the Artemis mission was initially scheduled to launch. Since then, it has been abandoned twice. The mission was postponed due to a failure in the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket's RS-25 engine during the first attempt, while the second attempt was due to a hydrogen leak at the 'quick disconnect' interface between the rocket and the liquid hydrogen fuel feed line. had to be postponed.

A new Moon mission is being launched by America and its space agency, which sent the first man to the Moon. Before him is the challenge of China. China will also launch its Moon mission in the coming years. Both countries want to send humans to the Moon for a long time so that from there preparations can be made to send humans to Mars as well.
