LIVE Techno – United States Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA will immediately launch the Mission Artemis 1 to the Moon in late August, where the rocket will be transferred to Launch Complex 39B on August 18, 2022, from the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center.
This launch will keep Artemis 1 on track to launch on a weeks-long unmanned voyage around the Moon no earlier than August 29.
Later, Artemis 1 will put the Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket and the Orion spacecraft through their paces to ensure reliability before astronauts make similar trips a few years from now with some having made it to the lunar surface, if NASA’s plans materialize. SpaceSunday, August 7, 2022.
Meanwhile, this upcoming launch has also followed intense system certification and more than a decade of planning.
“Our team has worked very hard for a very, very long time to get to this point,” said Rick LaBrode, director of flight for Artemis 1 at NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, USA.
Artemis 1 will mark the first launch for SLS and the second for Orion, which went into Earth orbit in 2014.
If all goes according to plan on August 29, then SLS will go through the atmosphere to reach orbit in just about 8.5 minutes.
