First NASA moon mission in five decades.

NASA will launch a mission to return astronauts to the moon on 29 August 2022.

More than 50 years after the Apollo Moon landing, NASA is getting ready to go back there.

The Artemis I mission was scheduled to lift off from the Kennedy Space Center in the US state of Florida, during a two-hour window that opened at 8:33am EDT (12:33 GMT), on Monday, August 29. However, due to an issue with engine number three, the launch was scrubbed.

The next launch opportunity is this Friday, September 2 at 12:48pm EDT (17:48 GMT). NASA will live stream the launch on YouTube.

NASA’s most powerful rocket ever produced will propel the unmanned Orion spacecraft to the Moon at a speed of 39,400km/h (24,500mph).
