NASA scrubs the second launch attempt for its Artemis 1 moon mission

For the second time this week, Artemis will not fly.

NASA scrapped another planned launch of the rocket late Saturday morning after several unsuccessful attempts to stop a leak of liquid hydrogen fuel.

The official scrub announcement from Launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson came around 11:19 a.m. ET (7.19 p.m. UAE time) NASA’s first effort to launch this rocket had to be scuttled on Monday morning after a sensor indicated that one of the rocket’s four engines didn’t seem to be cooling down to the proper temperature of approximately minus-420 degrees Fahrenheit.
