US space agency NASA has postponed the launch of a rocket carrying an unmanned spacecraft that will orbit the Moon as the first step in the process of resuming manned lunar flights after a 50-year hiatus.
The Space Launch System rocket was slated to lift off from Kennedy Space Center in the US state of Florida on Monday. NASA cited engine problems as a reason for the delay.
The 98-meter-high rocket is part of an international lunar exploration project called "Artemis," which aims to send astronauts to the lunar surface by 2025.
NASA says it will announce a new launch date.
