NASA announced on Wednesday that after three delays the space agency plans to finally test launch the Artemis I rocket on Nov. 14.

NASA said in a statement that it plans to launch on the date at 12:07 a.m. ET, with a 69-minute launch window with the Space Launch System at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The SLS is expected to be set up on Nov. 4.

This is NASA's fourth attempt to complete the launch after attempts were scrapped on Aug. 29, Sept. 3 and Sept. 27. The first two were canceled due to technical issues, while the third was postponed due to Hurricane Ian.

The goal of the uncrewed test launch is to make it around the moon and then return safely to Earth. It will test the system before there are flights with astronauts aboard.

"Artemis is the first step in the next era of human exploration. Together with commercial and international partners, NASA will establish a sustainable presence on the Moon to prepare for missions to Mars," NASA notes on its official website.

The mission is expected to last a little over 25 days, with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on Dec. 9.

Backup two-hour launch windows are also set for Nov. 16 at 1:04 a.m. ET and Nov. 19 at 1:45 a.m. ET, in the event that the first launch is delayed.
