NASA referred to as off the Monday launch shortly earlier than lift-off as a result of an engine cooling situation, which was later traced to a faulty sensor.

NASA engineers cleared the moon exploration rocket for a second go at this time. If all goes properly, the rocket, with an uncrewed Orion space capsule atop, will blast off Launch Pad 39B at 2:17 p.m. EDT (1817 GMT) for a 37-day lunar check journey. You can watch it launch live online beginning at 12:15 p.m. EDT (1615 GMT).
