MELBOURNE, Fla. - A hot fire test for NASA's Artemis mission was halted Saturday after one of the SLS booster's main engines shut down.
NASA engineers were planning to conduct the static fire test on Saturday, taking the United States one step closer to sending astronauts back to the moon.
However, the test launch was halted after a booster's main engine shut down.
Nevertheless, NASA is planning to launch a test mission by the end of 2021.
