SpaceX postpones the takeoff of the Falcon 9 rocket by one day. Takeoff should take place during the night from Wednesday to Thursday at the Kennedy Space Center, said NASA, the American space agency.

The mission, named IM-1, plans to send a lander more than four meters high developed by the Texan company Intuitive Machines, founded in 2013. The planned landing site is a crater near the Moon's south pole, which is still little explored. Two other missions from this company, IM-2 and IM-3, are planned for this year and 2024.
