Artemis I Moon Rocket Heads Back to Launch Pad for Testing

 







NASA - ARTEMIS-1 Mission patch.


June 6, 2022


NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft leaves the Vehicle Assembly Building atop a mobile launcher on June 6, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. At approximately 8:20 a.m. EDT, NASA’s Artemis I Moon rocket arrived at the spaceport’s Launch Complex 39B after an eight-hour journey ahead of the next wet dress rehearsal attempt. Teams will work to secure the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft and mobile launcher to ground support equipment at the launch pad and ensure that the rocket is in a safe configuration in preparation of the upcoming tanking test.
