NASA is targeting the next launch attempt of the Artemis I mission for Monday, November 14. The 69-minute launch window opens at 12:07 a.m. EST.
#Artemis I is an uncrewed flight test to launch Space Launch System (SLS) and send Orion around the Moon and back to Earth to thoroughly test its system before flights with astronauts. Inspections and analyses over the previous week have confirmed minimal work is required to prepare the rocket and spacecraft to roll out to Launch Pad 39B at @NASAKennedy Space Center in Florida following the roll-back due to Hurricane Ian. We plan to roll the rocket back to the launch pad as early as Friday, November 4.
A launch on November 14 would result in a mission duration of about 25-and-a-half days with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on Friday, December 9.
In this image, the SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard is seen atop the mobile launcher as it is rolled back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) from Launch Pad 39B, Tuesday, September 27, 2022, at @NASAKennedy. The orange of the rocket can be seen behind the grid-like pattern of the VAB balconies.
