NASA on Saturday introduced that it’ll not try and launch its Artemis I mission on Tuesday, September 27, as Tropical Storm Ian continues growing within the Caribbean Sea.
As an alternative of getting ready the large Area Launch System rocket for liftoff in three days, groups at Kennedy Area Heart in Florida will as a substitute begin to configure the bottom methods and automobile for a possible roll again to a big hangar, the Car Meeting Constructing. Sheltering inside this constructing would shield the $four billion rocket and Orion spacecraft from any foul climate as a consequence of Ian.
Earlier, NASA had stated it could decide by Saturday afternoon on whether or not to roll the Artemis I mission again contained in the hangar. Nevertheless, in its announcement on Saturday the company stated it could now make that call on Sunday.
