NASA is now aiming for November 14 to fly to the Moon

Then, at the end of September, the SLS rocket, the most powerful ever built by the American space agency, was stored in its hangar at the Kennedy Space Center to protect it from Hurricane Ian, which devastated certain regions of Florida. .

The new firing window, lasting 69 minutes, will open on the night of November 13 to 14 at 04:07 GMT, NASA said.

Two fallback dates, November 16 and 19, have also been set.

In development for over a decade, the SLS rocket has yet to fly.

Artemis is NASA’s new flagship program, which will allow humans to return to the Moon, and take the first woman and the first person of color there.

Fifty years after the last mission of the Apollo program, the Artemis 1 mission will not take an astronaut on board. It must be used to verify that the Orion capsule, at the top of the rocket, is safe to transport a crew in the future.
