On Monday, August 29, technical difficulties forced controllers to cancel the launch just as huge crowds had assembled at Cape Canaveral and on nearby Florida beaches to watch the launch at NASA's Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39B.
It takes Artemis I 1.3 million miles (2.1 million kilometres) to get to, past, and back from the Moon. It will test both the Orion spacecraft for crewed missions to the Moon and NASA's new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), the largest rocket ever built.
It's the first of three Artemis missions planned; Artemis II is expected to carry four crew members in 2024, while Artemis III is expected to send two astronauts to the moon in 2025 or later.
