Artemis I Update 27 September 2022

On Monday,NASA decided that a rollback from Space Launch Complex 39B to the Vehicle Assembly Building was necessary because of threatening weather from Hurricane Ian.Not only does it put the Orion spacecraft/Space Launch System rocket stack at risk;there is also the necessity to give staff members time to prepare themselves and their families for the imminent emergency.So the rollback began at about 11 p.m. on 26 September.This postponement may result in delaying the next launch window for the uncrewed test flight till November.
