NASA Artemis 1 launch: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is all set to launch Artemis 1 mission under its Artemis programme today. Artemis-I will be an uncrewed Moon mission. The launch event of Artemis 1 will be live streamed and the window will be open at 6:03 pm IST on August 29.

"One rocket. One mission. Many ways to watch #Artemis I launch to the Moon. See the thread for simulcasts, including how to watch in 4K. Pick your favorite, set a reminder, and spread the word. The two-hour launch window opens at 8:33am EDT on Aug. 29," NASA said in a Tweet.

The 322-foot (98-metre) Space Launch System rocket is the most powerful rocket ever built by NASA. The capsule will enter into the lunar orbit, a half-century after NASA's Apollo programme, which landed 12 astronauts on the Moon.

According to NASA, the launch event will be live streamed on the official YouTube channel - NASA Video. The launch event will also be watched on the official social media handle of NASA.

"Watch our mega Moon rocket @NASA_SLS get fueled up for launch. Follow @NASAGroundSys for updates on propellant loading in preparation for the #Artemis I liftoff from @NASAKennedy," NASA recently tweeted.

Despite a series of lightning strikes at the launch pad, NASA's new moon rocket remained on track to blast off on a crucial test flight Monday. Officials said Sunday that neither the rocket nor capsule suffered any damage during Saturday's thunderstorm; ground equipment also was unaffected. Five lightning strikes were confirmed, hitting the 600-foot towers surrounding the rocket at NASA's Kennedy Space Centre. The strikes weren't strong enough to warrant major retesting, as per PTI report.

"Clearly, the system worked as designed," said Jeff Spaulding, NASA's senior test director.

On the technical side, Spaulding said the team did its best over the past several months to eliminate any lingering fuel leaks. A pair of countdown tests earlier this year prompted repairs to leaking valves and other faulty equipment; engineers won't know if all the fixes are good until just a few hours before the planned liftoff, said PTI.
