NASA has unveiled the SLS acting as the Artemis I rocket and moved it to the launch complex for final testing before its launch.
NASA moves the Space Launch System to its launch complex for testing. Image source: NASA/Kim Shiflett rocket NASA is using for the Artemis missions at around 5 P.M. Thursday evening. The move continued well into the night. NASA took full advantage of the beautiful Florida sky as the sun set over Kennedy Space Center to provide a breathtaking background. The trek itself was only about four miles.
On top of testing the systems and procedures for launch, NASA teams will also practice every possible situation they might encounter, including weather briefings, condition propellants, and even replenishing them if needed. Just before reaching the point of igniting the Artemis I rocket’s RS-25 engines, the launch controllers will recycle back to the T-10 minute point and repeat the process.
