NASA has called off the scheduled Tuesday launch of its historic uncrewed mission to the Moon due to a tropical storm.

Two previous launch attempts of the Artemis 1 mission Space Launch System were scrapped when the rocket experienced technical glitches including a fuel leakNASA has called off the scheduled Tuesday launch of its historic uncrewed mission to the Moon due to a tropical storm that is forecast to strengthen as it approaches Florida.

The US National Hurricane Center said Ian is due to"rapidly intensify" over the weekend as it moves toward Florida, home to the Kennedy Space Center, from which the rocket is set to launch. A decision on whether to roll back the rocket to the Vehicle Assembly Building is due to be taken by the Artemis 1 team on Sunday,"to allow for additional data gathering and analysis," with the operation, if necessary, starting late Sunday or Monday morning, NASA said.

The Artemis 1 space mission hopes to test the SLS as well as the unmanned Orion capsule that sits atop it, in preparation for future Moon-bound journeys with humans aboard.
