“Our Artemis team is not about a single team member, but rather, the work of everyone as we bring our best to launch this rocket on a mission of a lifetime.” - Charlie Blackwell-Thompson Over the last few years, under the leadership of Artemis I Launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, teams with nasa’s Exploration Ground Systems and contractor companies at nasakennedy have worked through multiple launch simulations, and now, those teams are kicking it up a notch. Six more joint launch simulations are scheduled to take place before the Space Launch System and Orion blast off from Kennedy’s Launch Pad 39B – three that will focus on cryogenic loading and three focusing on the terminal countdown. All of these will help certify that the #Artemis I launch team is ready to handle anything thrown their way on launch day. Image Credits: NASA/Ben Smegelsky #nasa #space #exploration #LaunchControl
