The Artemis I Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft are bathed in the light of a sunrise at NASAKennedy Space Center.
The SLS and Orion were transported to Launch Pad 39B on March 19 for a wet dress rehearsal. During the two-day prelaunch test, the launch team will practice loading super-cold propellants into the rocket, conduct a launch countdown, and practice safely unloading propellants at the launch pad.
When that’s done, engineers will roll the rocket and spacecraft back to the Vehicle Assembly Building for final checks. Following a successful completion of the wet dress rehearsal, a launch date will be announced for
#Artemis I, the mission that will take the uncrewed Orion spacecraft around the Moon and back for the first time since Apollo.
