Artemis 1 – Mission part 3
The planned Artemis launch for Monday 29th August was scrubbed due to a series of technical issues.
If all goes well, NASAs Artemis SLS will launch Saturday 3rd September and start a new era in the human quest to explore the Moon, Mars and eventually beyond.
NASA is heading back to the Moon, Artemis 1 is the unmanned test mission which if all goes well will lead in to further missions over the next few years.
Please take timings etc from the NASA website and NOT from this blog. I am not responsible for you missing anything.

Artemis 1 – Mission part 2
If all goes well, NASAs Artemis SLS will launch tomorrow (Monday) and start a new era in the human quest to explore the Moon, Mars and eventually beyond.
NASA is heading back to the Moon, Artemis 1 is the unmanned test mission which if all goes well will lead in to further missions over the next few years.
According to the schedule coverage starts at 12:00 am (morning) on Monday eastern time which would make it about 5am UK time (assuming EST is UK time – 5).
As full coverage starts at 6:30 a.m Eastern time, this would make it 11 am UK time so late morning (ish). The best way to ensure you catch the launch is to check out the social media / website and youtube channels which are linked to from the above schedule page.
