NASA is planning the Artemis 1 SLS launch no earlier than 2022-11-14.
The Artemis 1 launch period opens 2022-11-12 and runs through 2022-11-27.
2022-11-20 and 2022-11-21 are unavailable for Artemis 1 launches because of Orion performance constraints that could place the solar-powered spacecraft into an extended eclipse.
The 2022-11-14 Artemis 1 launch window opens at 12:07 a.m. Eastern and lasts 69 minutes.
NASA scheduled the launch of the Artemis 1 mission for 2022-11-14 from Kennedy Space Center.
NASA preferred to launch Artemis 1 during daytime for improved tracking of the SLS, which would have required waiting until at least 2022-11-22.
NASA has backup Artemis 1 launch windows on 2022-11-16 at 1:04 a.m. Eastern and 2022-11-19 at 1:45 a.m. Eastern, each two hours long.
NASA ruled out attempting the Artemis 1 launch during the 2022-10-17–31, 2022 launch period and is focusing on the 2022-11-12–27, 2022 launch window.
If Artemis 1 does not launch in October, the next launch period for the mission is 2022-11-12 to 27.
The next Artemis 1 launch period opens 2022-10-17 and runs through 2022-10-31 with no launch opportunities on 2022-10-24-26 and 2022-10-28 because of other mission constraints.
NASA did not provide a new launch date for Artemis 1 when the agency announced the rollback.
NASA called off plans to attempt to launch the Artemis 1 mission on 2022-09-27 at 11:37 a.m. Eastern.
Artemis 1 mission demands may reduce DSN availability for JWST, potentially producing a handful of days with less than four hours of contact.
The 2022-09-23 Artemis 1 launch attempt depended on completing and testing repairs to seals in liquid hydrogen lines that attach to the rocket’s core stage and obtaining Eastern Range approval to extend certification of the flight termination system.
The 2022-10-02 Artemis 1 launch window opens at 2:52 p.m. Eastern and lasts for 109 minutes.
On 2022-09-12 NASA dropped plans for a 2022-09-23 Artemis 1 launch after delaying a tanking test from 2022-09-17 to 2022-09-21.
The 2022-09-27 Artemis 1 launch window opens at 11:37 a.m. Eastern and lasts for 70 minutes.
NASA planned to attempt the Artemis 1 launch on 2022-09-23 and tentatively designated 2022-09-27 as a backup launch date.
The 2022-09-23, Artemis 1 launch window opens at 6:47 a.m. Eastern, lasts two hours, and would result in a short‑class mission with an Orion splashdown on 2022-10-18.
The U.S. Space Force’s Space Launch Delta 45, which operates the Eastern Range, must approve an extension of the flight termination system certification before NASA can launch Artemis 1 later in the month.
