The launch of the American space agency's big new Moon rocket is being delayed for the third time.
A decision on whether to return the rocket to its assembly site is due to be taken by the Artemis I team on Sunday.A guide to Nasa's mega Moon rocket
The space agency wants to send the unmanned capsule Orion around the back of the Moon, ahead of journeys with humans aboard. Nasa hopes that by 2025 it will be able to send astronauts back to the lunar surface. If the SLS will have to be shielded, it will miss the current launch window, which ends on 4 October.
Jim Free, associate administrator for the agency's exploration systems development directorate, said that a "step-wise approach" to the decision to roll back preserved a launch opportunity if conditions improved. On Saturday, Ian strengthened as it moved over the Caribbean. Its projected path takes it just south of Jamaica, over western Cuba and into Florida, the hurricane centre said.More on this story
