NASA Artemis 1 Moon rocket to launch Today! Know when, how to watch it Live online

[ad_1] NASA Artemis 1 Moon rocket is all set for the launch to the Moon today. You can watch the launch event live on NASA TV, NASA's YouTube channel and more. Check details here.

The Moon rocket was originally scheduled to launch on August 29 but issues in fueling caused the launch to be delayed by more than a month. Hurricane Ian caused a second delay for the Artemis 1 launch. NASA brought it back to the launch pad on November 4 for a third attempt but due to hurricane Nicole, it had to be further pushed back. But now, NASA is confident to complete the launch of the Moon rocket today. Fourth time's the charm, they say! So, if you're interested in watching the live coverage o...

South Africa’s new ground station to help NASA track space flights to moon and more

[ad_1] A new deep-space ground station will come online by 2025 to help track history-making NASA missions to the moon and beyond. A new deep-space ground station being built in South Africa's semi-desert Karoo region will come online by 2025 to help track history-making NASA missions to the moon and beyond, space agency officials said Tuesday. Through its Artemis programme, which aims to land the first woman or person of colour on the moon by 2025, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is targeting this month for an inaugural launch of its next-generation rocket ship, delayed for weeks by technical setbacks and foul weather.

NASA moon rocket back in hangar, launch unlikely until November

[ad_1] NASA’s moon rocket returned to the safety of its hangar Tuesday as Hurricane Ian approached Florida. NASA's moon rocket returned to the safety of its hangar Tuesday as Hurricane Ian approached Florida, its launch now unlikely before mid-November. Instead of trying to send it on its first test flight, the launch team moved the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket off the pad at Kennedy Space Center. The four-mile (6.4-kilometer) trip took all night. NASA official Jim Free said it would be difficult to upgrade the rocket and get it back to the pad for an October launch attempt. Putting in fresh batteries is particularly challenging, Free noted, making it doubtful a launch could be attempted before the mid-to-late October laun...
