The next possible launch date for the unmanned mission, which will mark the beginning of Artemis, the United States' major space program to return to the Moon, is Friday, September 2.

The launch of #Artemis I is no longer happening today as teams work through an issue with an engine bleed. Teams will continue to gather data, and we will keep you posted on the timing of the next launch attempt. https://t.co/tQ0lp6Ruhv pic.twitter.com/u6Uiim2mom
