NASA 'hot fire' test of moon rocket system ends abruptly

A NASA 'hot fire' rocket engines test ends abruptly after just over a minute.

A NASA 'hot fire' rocket engines test ends abruptly after just over a minute, the US space agency said Sunday, as engineers checked the system that will send the Artemis 1 mission to the moon.

NASA said in a statement the burn was supposed to last eight minutes. Data from the test will be studied to understand why the engines shut down early, it added.
