NASA delays Artemis 1 launch by two more days to November 16th
, but it's now retargeting liftoff for November 16th. The current two-hour launch window opens at 1:04AM ET. There's a backup launch opportunity scheduled for November 19th.
The latest delay is due to the threat posed by Tropical Storm Nicole. The new launch window is dependent on conditions being safe enough for NASA employees to return to work, as well as inspections after the weather system has passed. The agency says that pushing back the launch date"will allow the workforce to tend to the needs of their families and homes, and provide sufficient logistical time to get back into launch status following the storm.
Teams are securing equipment, property and facilities at the space center, which is in HURCON III status. Some personnel in a “ride-out” team will remain in place to monitor conditions across the site, including the SLS and Orion.You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
