Plate, and theyve got this gasket theyve just got to replace and it is difficult to do that at the pad in the time they had available with this window. when�*s their next launch window then? well, this current window ends on tuesday, 6 september, the next time that they can try to launch is in a couple of weeks, 16 september to a october. the challenge there is if they think they have to move the rocket back into its giant hanger, the vehicle assembly building, that will take a long time, take...

Combining with deep tropical moisture leading to intense downpours and flash flooding. a check on the tropics, we have tropical storm danielle, but tropical storm earl, despite the fact it is struggling to develop, will be one to watch over the next couple of days. lilia. >> molly mccollum, thank you. for the second time this week nasas artemis rocket did not fly. the space agency scrubbed the launch of the massive rocket after a new technical issue surfaced and attempts to fix it failed. cbss...

Complicated machines. this is rocket science. are you surprised they tried so soon with this second launch attempt? well, im not. i was here for that first attempt and they had an engine cooling issue that turned out to be a bad centre — they solved that pretty quickly. they also had a different type of a fuel leak in that attempt and they were able to fix it by tightening up some equipment. but that pretty much wrapped up in pretty quick time, this new leak is something that is substantially ...

This was bigger than the one encountered on monday. nasa needs to fix it. they can either fix it on the launch pad or roll the entire rocket all the way back to the vab or the vehicle assembly building. to do that would take about 3 1/2 days, it eats up a ton of sometime. regardless where they make the repairs as of now nasa is going to need to roll the rocket back to the vab regardless because they are about to be in the middle of a safety violation with the range, the range run by the space fo...

The two-hour launch window opens at 2:17p Saturday afternoon.

The long countdown to launch of NASAs Artemis I mission to the moon continued as planned Friday while weather odds saw improvement along the way.

If they are really gonna fix this thing, they would have to roll it back to the vehicle assembly building behind me. this has not been announced yet. this may be the problem. this is what nasa fears. if they have to fix it in this building, that means that they have to send this rocket on its wheels. it is a 30 story object. that is for miles back to this. thing that could set us off track fundamentally. at this hour, it is not looking terribly likely this thing is gonna go up today. >> such a b...

For now, that clock is stillicking down with about 4 -- still ticking down with about 4 hours and 14 minutes to go. artemis is the strongest rocket ever made, set for a journey around the moon, going further than any other spacecraft. the focus is to do a stress test on it. theyll have 2 the hours to lift off starting at i 2:17 this afternoon. theres a 60% chance of good weather at the start of the launch window, and the conditions should get better towards the end, increasing to an 80% chance o...

Florida. nasa is once again going to try to launch the massive artemis i rocket, to send unmanned orion spacecraft on historic journey around the moon. this is a live ak the artemis i rocket as the sun is rising at kennedy space center. liftoff is scheduled for a two-hour window, starting at about 2:17 p.m. moments ago, nasa gave the go ahead to start fueling for launch, so it looks like this is going to happen, especially because the weather appears to be cooperating. right now theres a 60% cha...

Is this leak repairable, in your opinion, before the launch window closes or in time to meet the launch window? >> well, amara, im not 100% sure, but im not the guy making that decision. so theres some really smart people. mike serafin is a friend of mine, i worked with him in mission control for years at nasa, hes the program manager and a lot of smart people are looking into this. i think the rocket ship is in good hands. it could be something that might delay them for another day. it might be...
