NASA rescheduled the launch of its Artemis I mission around the moon to Saturday after the space agency was forced to scrub the first attempt due to an issue with one of the spacecrafts engines.

The main problem Monday came after engineers couldnt get one of the rockets four engines to the proper temperature needed to start them at liftoff. NASA said the Artemis team tried to quickly fix the issue before the scheduled departure time, but werent able to do so before a two-hour launch window closed.

Mike Sarafin, the Artemis mission manager, said the team had found a path forward, including changing the engines loading procedure and starting the engine chill down earlier.

The mission is the first in a series of launches that could ultimately see astronauts headed toward the moon for the first time in half a century and a major revitalization of NASAs space exploration efforts.

The next launch window opens at 2:17 p.m. ET Saturday for two hours, weather permitting. An additional window would open on Monday, NASA said.

If the mission isnt able to launch, it could potentially be pushed back by more than a month.

Teams have reviewed the data from Monday's launch attempt of the #Artemis I mission and are moving forward with a second launch attempt on Sat., Sept. 3, with a two-hour launch window starting at 2:17 p.m. EDT (18:17 UTC). pic.twitter.com/oDr5plGhqS

The decision Monday was a disappointment for thousands of rocket-watchers who drove to Floridas Kennedy Space Center, including Vice President Kamala Harris . But NASA said it wouldnt fire up the rocket until doing so was safe, despite years of delays that have beleaguered the $40 billion project.

While we hoped to see the launch of Artemis I today, the attempt provided valuable data as we test the most powerful rocket in history. Our commitment to the Artemis Program remains firm, and we will return to the moon.
