A fuel leak on Saturday cancelled NASA’s test launch of its moon rocket system, the second delay in a week.

According to the Associated Press, the mishap will mean that the Artemis I rocket, and its Orion space capsule, will be grounded for weeks and the next launch attempt may be delayed until October.

Saturday’s was scrubbed by hydrogen fuel leaks.

The rocket and capsule will be moved off the launch pad for repairs and system updates.
