At 9:15 am ET on Tues., Sept. 27, NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft for the
#Artemis I mission were secured inside the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASAKennedy Space Center after a four-mile journey from Launch Pad 39B ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Ian.
In this 25-second exposure, a vehicle passes the SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard as it is rolled back to the VAB atop the mobile launcher.
After the storm has passed, teams will conduct inspections to determine impacts at the center and establish a plan for the next launch attempt, including replacing the core stage flight termination system batteries and retesting the system.
