The Artemis 1 stack is now back in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
Another shot of the Artemis 1 rollback from the launch pad on April 25-26, 2022. The Artemis 1 mission will use a Space Launch System rocket to send an uncrewed Orion capsule around the moon.
Artemis 1 will use the first-ever SLS to send an uncrewed Orion capsule around the moon and back sometime later this year. If all goes well with Artemis 1, Artemis 2 will launch astronauts aroundIt's unclear when Artemis 1 will get off the ground; NASA officials won't set an official target date until the wet dress is done and they've had a chance to analyze the data.
SLS began its journey from the VAB to Pad 39B on March 17 and got there about 12 hours later, early in the morning of March 18. NASA began the wet dress rehearsal on April 1 and had hoped to complete a simulated countdown by April 3.
