NASA teams at Kennedy Space Center will try to fix the Artemis I moon rocket at the pad without rolling it back to VAB, potentially saving time and setting the stage for a third launch attempt no earlier than late September. NASA
Could Artemis make the September 19 launch window?
A first attempt before that also had to be scrubbed due to technical issues when one of four RS-25 main engines didn't appear to reach the right pre-launch temperature. NASA said that was due to a faulty sensor and will ignore those readings. The FTS on the rocket needs to be certified every 20 to 25 days, but that process can only be done in the VAB. NASA is in talks with the Space Force to see if it's possible to extend the certification.
