During Artemis I, the Orion spacecraft will venture thousands of miles beyond the moon over the course of about a four to six-week mission. Orion will launch on the Space Launch System (SLS), the most powerful rocket in the world, from NASA's modernized Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The uncrewed flight will pave the way toward landing the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon. Orion will launch on the Space Launch System (SLS), the most powerful rocket in the world, from Launch Complex 39B at NASA's modernized spaceport at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Teams are currently inspecting each piece of the rocket and spacecraft, including physically entering different components of SLS and, step-by-step, making sure SLS and Orion are ready for the trip to the launchpad. The SLS rocket will roll out to the launchpad for the wet dress rehearsal test approximately two weeks after it arrives at 39B on March 18, 2022.
NASA will set a target launch date for the Artemis I mission after a successful wet dress rehearsal test.
