Washington - (AFP) - The US space agency ( NASA ) has set November 14 as a new date for its attempt to launch its massive rocket to the moon as part of the "Artemis 1" mission.

NASA made two attempts to launch this rocket, at the end of August and then at the beginning of September, but had to cancel them at the last minute due to technical problems.
At the end of September, the SLS, the most powerful rocket ever built by NASA, was returned to the Kennedy Space Center assembly building to protect it from Hurricane Ian, which devastated parts of Florida.
NASA stated that the new 69-minute rocket launch window will open the night of November 13 to 14 at 4:07 GMT.
Two backup dates have been set, 16 and 19 November.
The SLS, which began development more than a decade ago, has yet to be released.
NASA's new flagship "Artemis" program will allow humans to return to the Moon, bringing the first woman and first person of color there.
Fifty years after the last mission of the Apollo program, the Artemis 1 mission will not carry any astronauts on board. This mission aims to verify that the Orion capsule on top of the rocket is safe to transport human crews in the future.
