NASA hopes to make another attempt at launching the lunar Artemis I mission later this month, but needs to clear a series of obstacles.

NASA has asked the U.S. Space Force if it would allow for two opportunities later this month to try again to launch the Artemis I mission to the moon, but NASA would also need to sign off on fixes in the works to the $4.1 billion rocket on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center.

Managers overseeing NASAs Artemis I mission to the moon have requested new dates for the next attempt at launching from Kennedy Space Center.

NASA has two new dates in mind, September 23 or September 27. For the next attempt at launching its massive new moon rocket on an uncrewed test mission. But there are still several things that could stand in the way of getting the Artemis I mission off the ground, any of which could push the launch date back further.

After their first Artemis 1 launch attempts were scrubbed, NASA announced two potential target dates of September 23 and September 27.

NASA leaders are hopeful they can launch the Artemis 1 mission before the end of September. However, the Space Launch System rocket must first undergo repairs, and the U.S. Space Force would need to approve.

NASA will replace a seal in an attempt to fix the leak that scuttled last weekends planned Artemis 1 moon launch — and it will do the work on the pad.

Nasa will repair the leaks on the Artemis-1 moon rocket on the launch pad and then return it to the Vehicle Assembly Building for nearly two weeks.
