will again attempt to launch the Artemis1 rocket on Saturday, September 3, after its first attempt was scrubbed on Monday. The historic launch was postponed after an engine bleed could not be resolved. The launch of the most powerful rocket the world has ever seen for a mission to the moon is set to reconvene on Saturday at 2:17 p.m. eastern time, with a two hour window, NASA told reporters Tuesday.

However, NASA said there is no need to swap the engine.
