## Caption

Safety is our top priority.

The #Artemis I mission to the Moon has been postponed. During the tanking of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, teams discovered a leak in the hardware transferring propellants into the rocket. Despite troubleshooting efforts, teams were unable to fix the leak, and the launch was scrubbed.

Artemis I will be the first integrated flight test of the rocket and spacecraft that will bring humanity to the Moon; it's more important than ever to prioritize the safety of the teams and the hardware. Spaceflight is inherently risky, but NASA is doing everything possible to minimize the risk and make it to the Moon.

Check here for updates on the new launch date.
