Apollo engineer recalls Saturn V hiccups, 'can hardly wait' for Artemis 1 launch

Apollo electronics engineer Ken Poimboeuf helped build the massive Saturn V rocket that took us to the moon more than 50 year ago. He said there were hiccups then, but NASA is known for getting the job done.

UCF researchers could develop the cure for hydrogen leak that grounded Artemis 1

Scientists at the University of Central Florida are working to create a composite material that they hope will prevent scrubs like the one that happened Sept. 3 on the Artemis launchpad because of a hydrogen leak.

Nicole whips 100-mph gust at NASA's moon rocket on Kennedy Space Center launchpad

Even before making landfall, Hurricane Nicole produced nearly 90-mph wind gusts on Florida's Space Coast, where NASA's Space Launch System rocket is on the launchpad awaiting its launch to the moon.

Artemis I rocket launch delayed again due to tropical storm headed toward Florida

NASA is pushing the target launch date and time for its Artemis 1 mission to Wednesday, Nov. 16, with a two-hour window that opens at 1:04 a.m. EST. If needed, NASA has a backup launch opportunity on Saturday, Nov. 19.

Artemis I moon rocket will remain on launchpad and ride out Nicole's impacts, NASA says

NASA’s Kennedy Space Center announced Monday it plans to keep its Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft sitting on the launch pad as Nicole rolls through.

Will Nicole impact NASA's latest Artemis I launch attempt? SLS and Orion to remain at KSC launch pad

Florida is preparing for impacts from Subtropical Storm Nicole. The system will soak the Space Coast and bring hurricane-strength winds near where NASA's Artemis 1 rocket is awaiting liftoff.

Artemis 1 begins rollout to Kennedy Space Center launchpad ahead of 3rd liftoff attempt

NASA teams are preparing to move the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft to the launchpad for another try at conducting the Artemis 1 test flight around the moon.

NASA to practice moonwalks, conduct rover tests in Arizona for future Artemis missions

As NASA eyes November as the next opportunity to launch its Artemis I mission to the moon from Kennedy Space Center in Florida – the first in a series of missions – NASA said it would conduct analog missions – simulated missions -- in Arizona to practice moonwalks, and to test the capabilities of its rovers.

Artemis I Mission: NASA targeting November launch of moon rocket

NASA officials are targeting November for its next attempt to launch the Artemis I rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida to the moon.

Artemis I flight hardware, facilities spared significant damage from Hurricane Ian

NASA said the flight hardware and facilities housing Artemis I are in good shape following Hurricane Ian's close brush with Kennedy Space Center on Thursday.

NASA moon rocket back in hangar as Ian approaches Cape Canaveral

NASA’s moon rocket returned to the safety of its hangar Tuesday as Hurricane Ian approached Florida. Early Thursday morning, the National Hurricane Center adjusted the path for Hurricane Ian, shifting the storm just to the north of Kennedy Space Center. The hurricane was expected to be downgraded to a strong tropical storm before emerging over the Atlantic Ocean.

NASA to move Artemis I rocket back to Vehicle Assembly Building due to Hurricane Ian

The Artemis I Space Launch System Rocket will be pulled down from the launch pad and rolled back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) Monday night due to Hurricane Ian, NASA said. The massive rocket will begin the rollback process Monday night at 11 p.m., further delaying the anticipated mission.
