Making moves!
Crawler-transporter 2 is heading toward the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASAKennedy Space Center to pick up the
#Artemis I rocket ahead of testing at the launchpad. On June 6, the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft will travel four miles from the VAB to Pad 39B for the next wet dress rehearsal attempt.
During rehearsal, NASA teams will have the opportunity to practice loading propellant into the rocket’s tanks, conduct a full launch countdown, and drain the tanks.
Engineers successfully completed work on items identified during the previous wet dress rehearsal tests including replacing and testing an upper stage check valve and fixing a small leak within the tail service mast umbilical ground plate housing. Teams also completed some tasks originally scheduled to take place in the VAB after wet dress rehearsal.
Artemis I will pave the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a stepping stone to send the first astronauts to Mars.
