Nasa: The reason behind this is that the countdown timer was not working properly, d counting doand only started counting down once it was in space, then stoppewn.
The reason for this is being investigated at the moment but one thing we know for sure is that neither of the rockets launched from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia got off the ground.
The Artemis 1 launch has encountered technical issues.

On July 4th, at 3:42 pm EDT, the launch of Artemis 1-1 (a small tech demonstration mission for the NASA space program) was postponed due to technical issues. Artemis 1 was an unmanned capsule that traveled on a suborbital trajectory with a two-person crew. It launched from White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico and was scheduled to reach an altitude of one mile in four minutes and fly around Earth once before returning home after exiting a "free flight" region called L-1011 at an altitude of 65000 ft over the Pacific Ocea.
Artemis 1 is NASA's microsatellite for Earth Observing.
It is a cubesat with an optical payload and two sounding rocket payloads composing each satellite mission. The main purpose is to find out the real-time image of the globe within 24 hours. Artemis 1 will be launched into a sun synchronous orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.0 vehicle on 30th April, 2018 from Cape Canaveral Air Force station (Florida, USA).

The Artemis 1-Launch NASA race technical issues alert has been issued to all players, Please read the update when you have time.
The Artemis 1-launch nasa race is an open source rocket competition. Each year, teams of PhD students and senior undergraduates build rockets for launch in a desert at the New Mexico Institute of Technology. Last year, we learned how to build, test, and launch rockets with all manner of novel (and mostly legal) rocket innovation. This year, after a lot more work on our own rockets and some additional help from industry parties and universities, we're looking forward to flying some pretty neat launches!
NASA Race Technical Issues by the time of launch. Artemis 1 rocket suffered technical problems that prevented it from reaching orbit.
We are glad to know your opinion
