On Thursday, June 27, NASA’s mobile launcher as will roll on crawler-transporter 2 to Launch Complex 39B prior to the launch of the first Artemis mission.
The mobile launcher is the ground structure that will be used to assemble, process and launch NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft from Launch Pad 39B at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for missions to deep space destinations, such as the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Over the next three months, the mobile launcher will undergo final testing at the pad to certify the systems for launch. When the mobile launcher makes its trek out to Launch Pad 39B, it will transport NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft for the launch of Artemis 1, part of the agency’s larger, sustainable Moon to Mars exploration approach.
