MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. — The Artemis I rocket is set for launch early Wednesday morning, the latest attempt to send an unmanned capsule near the moon after a series of postponements due to weather and mechanical issues.
NASA pushed back a takeoff scheduled for Monday after Hurricane Nicole made landfall about 85 miles south of Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The space capsule will travel for roughly 25 days -- reaching as close as 60 miles from the moon, and then 40,000 miles above the moon when orbiting over its dark side -- before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego on Dec. 11. NASA called off that initial takeoff, set for Aug. 29, after a defective sensor prevented one of the rocket's engines from cooling down to a temperature required before ignition.
