ARTEMIS I LAUNCH (3RD ATTEMPT), ?? , 2022, KSC

Update, September 26: NASA decided this morning to roll Artemis I back to the Vehicle Assembly Building for safety. Ian is now a hurricane.  October 2 no longer is a potential launch date. The next launch window opens on October 17.

Update, September 24: The launch has been delayed due to Tropical Storm Ian. NASA will decide tomorrow (September 25) whether to roll the SLS/Orion stack back to the Vehicle Assembly Building for safety, which will determine when they can try again. October 2 is a backup launch opportunity if they do not need to roll back.

Original Entry: As of September 17, NASA is planning to try to launch the Artemis I uncrewed test flight of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft on September 27, 2022 at 11:37 am ET from Kennedy Space Center, FL.

The first two attempts on August 29 and  September 3 were scrubbed for unrelated reasons.

The September 27 launch date is contingent on a number of factors including the results of a tanking test on September 21, the Space Force granting a waiver for a critical battery on the Flight Termination System, and weather.  Stay tuned for updates.

NASA TV will cover the launch live.
