Despite the fact that on September 27 Space LaunchSystem will not go into space, the rocket may remain on the launch pad along with the Orion ship, because they withstand wind speeds up to 137 km/h. The decision to move the Space Launch System and Orion to the Vehicle Assembly Building hangar will be made on September 25 before the end of the day.
Sending a rocket and a spaceship tothe assembly shop will take three days for specialists, since the maximum allowable wind speed in motion is 74 km / h. However, if NASA decides to keep the Space Launch System and Orion at the site, then the Artemis 1 mission could launch on October 2nd. Otherwise, the timing will be significantly shifted and it is far from certain that the mission will take place in 2022.
