Artemis I at Pad 39B - Sunrise

A view of the Artemis I Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft on Launch Pad 39B during sunrise at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 24, 2022. The SLS and Orion atop the mobile launcher were transported to the pad on crawler-transporter 2 for a prelaunch test called a wet dress rehearsal. Artemis I will be the first integrated test of the SLS and Orion spacecraft. In later missions, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the surface of the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone on the way to Mars.
