The initial launch attempt was aborted on August 29 because launch controllers were unable to cool down the four RS-25 engines, with one engine running on higher temperature than the others.

Artemis I is an autonomous mission to the Moon that will be the first in a succession of increasingly complicated missions that will eventually return humans to Earth's lone satellite.
