“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.

Beyond Apollo: The Next Era of Moon Exploration with a New Generation of Astronauts
If all goes to plan, sometime in November 2024, NASA’s newly announced Artemis II crew – Christina Koch, Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen – will cram themselves into their Orion space capsule and begin their final checks for launch. As they sit perched atop...
The Moon – What Moon Missions are planned for 2023?
2023 is set to be a bumper year for Moon missions. Russia, India, and the European Space Agency are all gearing up to launch missions. This follows on from a successful 2022 which saw NASA's Artemis I mission make a successful lunar orbit. However, the coming year sees...
Could Artemis be the last mission for NASAs astronauts?
Neil Armstrong took his historic “one small step” on the Moon in 1969. And just three years later, the last Apollo astronauts left our celestial neighbour. Since then, hundreds of astronauts have been launched into space but mainly to the Earth-orbiting International Space Station. None has, in fact,...
Artemis launch heralds a new age of space exploration
NASA today successfully launched its largest-ever rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida at 01:47 local time (06:47 GMT). Today's launch follows two previous failed launch attempts which were aborted because of technical issues. NASA’s new Artemis mission aims to take the American Space Agency back to the...

Artemis – Countdown to SLS Launch
Today will see the launch of NASAs huge Space Launch System (SLS) The SLS is a critical part of the American's space agencies attempt to bring humans back to the moon. Today's "Artemis I" mission will see an unmanned SLS blast into space carrying an Orion vehicle...
Watch – Lighting Strikes Moon-bound mega rocket
Amazing footage has emerged of four lightning bolts hitting the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket which is being prepped for its upcoming Artemis I mission. NASA confirmed the strikes hit its lightning towers - these sit around the perimeter of the Kennedy Space Center’s launch pad and...
How Artemis 1 will pave the way for a human return to the Moon
On December 19 1972, astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt and Ronald Evans splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean, ending the Apollo 17 lunar mission. They were the last people to travel beyond low-Earth orbit – typically defined as less than 1,000km above the Earth’s surface. Some 49...
Orion capsule stacked on top of Artemis 1 as moon mission approaches
The final preparations have started for Nasa’s Artemis launch - the first step of the US space agencies plan to return astronauts to moon. Artemis I will be the first integrated flight test of NASA’s deep space exploration system. The rocket combines the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System...
Uncrewed flights to the Moon to start February 2022
US Space Agency NASA has announced plans for the start of uncrewed flights around the Moon in 2020. The plan will see the Orion capsule launched using NASA's Space Launch System in February 2022 - the first step for the agencies plans to establish regular human missions to...
The road to assembling NASAs mega-rocket.
Nasa has announced that it has assembled the first Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The massive SLS is designed to have enough power to carry humans to the Moon later this decade. The ship is built around a huge core stage which contains four engines and field tanks....
Infographic – How is NASA assembling its huge SLS rocket?
In the next few days NASA will finalise the first assembly of its huge SLS rocket. The rocket is part of the Artemis mission to take humans back to the moon by the end of the decade. These infographics explore what the SLS is and how NASA is...
Artemis: how ever changing US space policy may push back the next Moon landing
Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan blasted off from the Taurus-Littrow valley on the Moon in their lunar module Challenger on December 14 1972. Five days later, they splashed down safely in the Pacific, closing the Apollo 17 mission and becoming the last humans to visit the lunar surface...
Solid Rocket Moon Booster fired up for critical test
Today NASA, alongside engineering giant Northrop Grumman, celebrated after they successfully ignited a massive solid rocket booster in Utah. The two-minute test put the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) hardware through its paces. Each SRB will be responsible for providing 3.6 million pounds of thrust when the American space...
