“Thats all folks” – Nasa has cancelled todays SLS moon rocket launch because of engine problem
The American space agency called off todays SLS launch after engineers failed to stabilise the temperature of one of the main engines under the rocket.
This flight would have been the first major test flight in the Artemis programme which aims to take humans back to the Moon for he first time since the Apollo programme over 50 years
The launch had seen several other technical glitches including a crack being found and then dismissed as frost before the team of engineers announced they were unable to stabilise the temperature of the rockets engines – a event called an “engine bleed”.
The team are aiming to relaunch this Friday, 5th September.
