#Artemis I is on the launch pad! After a 10-hour overnight drive from NASAKennedy's massive Vehicle Assembly Building, our Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft arrived at Launch Pad 39B at 7:30 a.m. ET (11:30 UTC) on Wednesday, Aug. 17. NASA engineers and technicians are now making final checks and updates before the rocket lifts off, currently scheduled for Monday, Aug. 29 at 8:33 a.m. ET (12:33 UTC). On its six-week, uncrewed journey, Artemis I will travel 1.3 million miles (2.1 million kilometers), flying around the Moon several times and going as far as 280,000 miles (450,000 km) from Earth—farther than any of the Apollo Moon missions. Artemis I will test our NASAArtemis equipment and technology to ensure that future Artemis missions are ready to send humans to the Moon for long-term lunar exploration.
