Aside from the now-canceled September 27th launch date, NASA had penciled in October 2nd as a possible backup launch date in case things didn’t go as planned. However, if NASA chooses to bring back the rocket, the backup launch date is likely to be ruled out. The four-mile trek to the VAB takes many hours and may cause the launch to be postponed until November. Leaving the rocket outdoors, on the other hand, might expose it to hazardous weather conditions, with NASA officials stating that the rocket can only survive wind gusts of up to 85mph when on the launchpad.
