NASA announced Wednesday it selected three potential dates for its Artemis I mission – the first stage of its historic operation to send the first woman and person of color to the moon.
The American space agency is targeting August 29 to launch the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft from Kennedy Space Center.
And September 2 and 5 are marked down as backup launch dates.
James Free, associate administrator at NASA's Washington DC headquarters, said the exact date will be determined about a week before launch.
