NASA is now delaying one of the missions that many are waiting for its launch today, which is Artemis 1. Previously, the Artemis 1 mission was planned to send an empty Orion capsule around the moon before returning to earth in 42 days. This mission is expected to be one of the important missions before the rocket carrying astronauts to the moon is launched.
Initially, NASA was scheduled to launch the rocket to the moon today, but postponed it after discovering that there were problems identified during the launch process - thus leading to the delay of the launch.
It is said to be related to a temperature problem involving one of the engines on the rocket - identified less than two hours before the launch of the mission. NASA now says they are gathering as much relevant data as possible.
Previously, the replacement dates in case of delays were on September 2 and September 5. But it is not known whether the problem will be overcome or otherwise. NASA will share a new date for the launch of this mission soon.
