NASA delays Artemis moon mission after second launch attempt halted due to fuel leak


NASA is postponing its Artemis I moon mission again, after making a second attempt to get the launch off the ground on Saturday.

The space agency is working toward the debut of its Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion capsule, for what would be a more than month-long journey around the moon.

As NASA was filling the rocket on Saturday morning, the agency’s team detected a hydrogen fuel leak from the engine section. NASA made several attempts to fix the leak, but time ticked away ahead of the launch window that was set to open at 2:17 p.m. ET.

NASA called off a first launch attempt on Monday after it was unable to resolve a temperature problem identified with one of the rocket’s four liquid-fueled engines, discovered with less than two hours to go in the countdown.
