Storm Ian delays launch of Nasa's Artemis I Moon rocket

The launch of Nasa's most-powerful ever rocket has been delayed due to a tropical storm which could become a hurricane.

Artemis I Moon rocket was expected to launch from the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida, on Tuesday.

The launch of the rocket had already been postponed twice.

The Space Launch System (SLS) vehicle is designed to send astronauts and their equipment back to the Moon after an absence of 50 years.

As it happened: Nasa cancels Moon rocket launch because of engine problem.
