NASA announced on Twitter that the Artemis I launch has been rescheduled again.
The latest launch date was Monday, Nov. 14 but has been rescheduled as the team monitors Tropical Storm Nicole.
According to a statement released by NASA, the new launch date will allow employees to take care of the needs of their families and homes while also providing time to get back into launch status. On Sunday, it was determined by the agency that the safest option was to keep the SLS secured on the pad. According to NASA, the rocket is designed to withstand 85 mph winds at the 60-foot level with structural margin. The rocket is also designed to withstand heavy rains at the launchpad and the spacecraft hatches have been secured to prevent water intrusion.
