NASA thought the leak had been fixed but spotted concerns early Monday that could not be immediately addressed.<\/p>\n<p>The launch had already been delayed by nearly an hour due to thunderstorms near the Florida Kennedy Space Center. The leak set the schedule beyond the two-hour time window, forcing a reschedule of the Artemis I rocket.<\/p>\n<p>The next launch attempt will not occur until at least Friday, the first of two scheduled backup dates for the mission. September 5 will serve as the third date if needed.<\/p>\n<p>The mission is set to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/specials\/artemis-i-press-kit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">run<\/a> for more than 42 days, traveling 1.3 million miles from Earth to the Moon. The Orion spacecraft that sits upon the Space Launch System will separate from the propulsion stage approximately two hours after launch.<\/p>\n<p>Orion will deploy 10 small satellites, called CubeSats, to study the Moon and other space destinations. The spacecraft will then orbit the Moon to test communications and flight requirements ahead of a future human launch.<\/p>\n<p>The Artemis I mission serves as a key part of the U.S. sending astronauts back to the surface of the Moon and beyond.\u00a0The last human Moon landing took place in 1972.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>NASA\u2019s Artemis I is the precursor to the Artemis II that is on pace to launch for the first time in 2024.
