After looking at available data and analysis, NASA said Tuesday it would make a second launch attempt of the uncrewed Artemis I and its Space Launch System (SLS) rocket booster Saturday afternoon.
A two-hour launch window is scheduled to open at 2:17 p.m. (EDT) Saturday, officials told reporters during a teleconference. Although there is a 60 percent chance of a weather event Saturday, NASA forecasters said conditions were expected to be good enough for launch at some point during the two-hour window. If the launch is scrubbed Saturday, officials said there would be an opportunity to try for launch on Monday, September 5.
