"We also agreed to move our launch date to Saturday, September the third," Sarafin said on Tuesday.
On Monday, NASA called off a planned test flight of the Artemis rocket around the moon after a series of setbacks including an engine issue, a hydrogen leak, and stormy weather off the coast of Florida.
Sarafin added that Artemis will have a two-hour launch window on Saturday set to begin at 2:17 p.m. Eastern Time (6:17 p.m. GMT).
NASA's Artemis launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson mentioned that if Saturday's launch is scrubbed due to a weather issue, another launch attempt could occur as soon as Monday.
NASA officials said they plan to start the engine chill earlier to get the RS-25 engines on the bottom of the core stage to the proper temperature range for liftoff and the hydrogen leak will be fixed on the pad later this week.
