It was not immediately clear if space agency will be able to make fixes in time to meet next backup launch date of Monday.

Officials said they had identified that problem as a faulty sensor rather than an issue with the cooling system or engine itself. “This is part of the space business,” he said. It was the second time in five days that technical issues had kept the spacecraft on the launchpad.

Engineers were unable to resolve a hydrogen leak, which led the launch director to call off Saturday's flight.

Lots of launches do not get off the ground on the second try, either. (At launch time, the skies were clear and calm.) Lots of launches do not get off the ground on the first try. Thus solving the problem of being in two places in one day without invoking quantum mechanics.” For me, that would be the STS-127 mission, in 2009. Stories like this are possible because of our deep commitment to original reporting, produced by a global staff of over 1,700 journalists who have all dedicated themselves to helping you understand the world. It’s the first launch of a new complex rocket and there are likely still bugs to be worked out. that it was time to scrub the day’s flight. “Be ready for the scrubs.” Kenneth Chang has been reporting on NASA and spaceflight since the 1990s.

NASA delays Artemis I's launch for a second time (The Verge)

NASA has once again scrubbed the debut launch of its Space Launch System (or SLS) rocket after engineers failed to fix a persistent hydrogen leak.

That’ll take time, potentially pushing this launch back to late October at the earliest. After the third time, engineers recommended that the launch be a ‘no go.’ Soon after, the mission’s launch director, Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, decided to scrub the launch attempt. NASA has another launch window left — from 5:12 PM to 6:42 PM on September 5th — before it faces a major delay.
