NASA on Monday morning scraped its launch of a rocket and space capsule to the moon for a month-long orbit.

NASA officials said the launch was "scrubbed" as a result of a problem related to the temperature of the rocket engines – known as an "engine bleed." 

The space agency said next available launch date would be Sept. 2.
