NASA Sets New Coverage for Artemis I Moon Mission Launch
NASA confirmed it remains on track for the launch of the Artemis I Moon mission during a two-hour launch window that opens at 1:04 a.m. EST on Wednesday, Nov. 16.
The?[launch countdown](https://www.nasa.gov/content/artemis-i-launch-countdown-101)?will begin at 1:24 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 14.
[Artemis I](http://www.nasa.gov/artemis-1) is the first integrated flight test of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, an uncrewed Orion spacecraft, and the ground systems at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission will pave the way for a crewed test flight and future human lunar exploration as part of Artemis.
Live coverage of briefings and events will air on NASA Television, the?[NASA app](https://www.nasa.gov/connect/apps.html), and the agency’s?website at:

Engineers previously [rolled the rocket back](https://blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2022/09/26/artemis-i-moon-rocket-departs-launch-pad-39b-ahead-of-hurricane-ian/) to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) Sept. 26 ahead of Hurricane Ian and after waving off two previous launch attempts Aug. 29 due to a [faulty temperature sensor](https://blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2022/08/30/nasa-targets-sept-3-for-next-artemis-i-moon-mission-launch-attempt/), and Sept. 4 due to a [liquid hydrogen leak](https://blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2022/09/03/nasa-to-stand-down-on-artemis-i-launch-attempts-in-early-september-reviewing-options/) at an interface between the rocket and mobile launcher. Prior to rolling back to the VAB, teams successfully repaired the leak and demonstrated updated tanking procedures. While in the VAB, teams performed standard?maintenance?to repair minor damage to the foam and cork on the?thermal protection system?and recharge or replace batteries throughout the system.
A limited number of seats inside Kennedy’s Press Site auditorium will be available during NASA TV briefings to previously credentialed on-site journalists on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline has passed for media accreditation for in-person coverage of this launch.
Media and members of the public may also ask questions on social media using #Artemis. Audio only of the briefings will be carried on the NASA “V” circuits, which may be accessed by dialing 321-867-1220, -1240 or -7135.
