The launch director waived off in the present day’s Artemis I launch try at roughly 11:17 a.m. EDT (8:17 a.m. PDT).

Engineering groups encountered a liquid hydrogen leak whereas loading the propellant into the core stage of the Area Launch System rocket. A number of troubleshooting efforts to deal with the world of the leak by reseating a seal within the fast disconnect cavity the place liquid hydrogen is fed into the rocket didn't repair the problem. NASA engineers are persevering with to assemble further information.
