We will try again. 🚀
This morning, teams came together in the early hours at @NASAKennedy Space Center in Florida and attempted to launch the #Artemis I mission to its voyage around and beyond the Moon.
After fully tanking the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, engineers discovered an issue with one of the four RS-25 engines not reaching the proper temperatures during a planned engine bleed test. As a result, we decided to postpone the launch today. Teams will come together to look at the data and determine a new launch date.
Space flight is inherently risky. But our teams do everything they can to keep the rocket and our communities safe. We will try again.

Image description: Sunrise begins to break over the SLS as it sits at Kennedy Space Center’s Launchpad 39B. The SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft are orange and white, seen in the distance, surrounded by three grey lightning towers and three white fuel tanks. The sky is shades of blue, white, and pink, and the ocean is light blue with a hint of pink from the rising sun.
