NASA officials announced Friday that Artemis I is still on track to launch Saturday afternoon between 2:17 p.m. ET and 4:17 p.m. ET.
"We're comfortable with our risk posture," Artemis mission manager Mike Serafin said."That said, there's no guarantee that we're going to get off on Saturday, but we're going to try." If the launch is Saturday, the mission will be 37 days long, with the splashdown on Oct. 11, Serafin said.LinkNASA officials said the Artemis I new launch date that was initially scheduled for Friday had to be moved due to bad weather."Looking forward to Saturday, weather would be a little bit different than what we experienced yesterday," Mark Berger, launch weather officer with the U.S. Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron, said during a media briefing Tuesday.
If the launch does not occur by Monday, Artemis I will have to roll back to the Vehicle Assembly Building and won’t be able to launch until later in September.
