  • Description : NASA's Artemis 1 Moon Mission Live Updates, November 16, 2022: The SLS rocket lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center at 12.17 PM IST on November 16. Shortly after, the rocket's core stage cut off and separated from Orion and the upper stage.


    The Artemis 1 mission was earlier scheduled to launch on November 14 but it had to be postponed because of tropical storm Nicole. The SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft were left at the launch complex to weather the storm and suffered slight damage due to it. The space agency’s previous attempts to launch the Artemis 1 mission had to be cancelled due to various issues with the new rocket and spacecraft. The first launch attempt had to be scrubbed due to an engine bleed issue with one of the core stage’s RS-25 engines, while the second launch attempt had to be scrubbed because of a hydrogen leak.
