The US space agency NASA has announced that a planned crewed mission to the Moon will not launch in March due to technical problems that still need to be resolved.
Officials said additional testing and adjustments are required to ensure astronaut safety and mission reliability. They stressed that safety remains the top priority and that the launch will only proceed once all systems meet strict standards.
The mission is part of efforts to return humans to the Moon after many years, but the delay means the timeline will be reviewed and a new launch window set later. Experts note that postponements are common in complex space programmes, especially when technical concerns arise.
NASA says work is ongoing to fix the issues and that updates on a revised launch date will be provided once preparations are complete.
