NASA delays mission Artemis: technical issue detected on rocket

The mission Artemis that aims to launch The Orion Spacecraft to Moon orbit got postponed to another date because of a technical problem on the Space Launch System (SLS).  One of the liquid fuel motors on the system was detected overheating less than two hours before the launch time. NASA engineers stated that a detailed examination will be held and, if all problems get solved, the next launch date will be on Friday.

Within the Artemis I mission, The Orion Spacecraft, which is planned to be sent to the Moon by the 98-meter-long SLS rocket with 3.99 tons of thrust power, was expected to collect scientific data about future manned flights during its 42-day mission.
