Pad 39B and ML-1

Teams with Exploration Ground Systems at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida continue to work the upgrades and repairs on mobile launcher 1 and Launch Pad 39B on June 13, 2023, ahead of the first critical ground testing for Artemis II. The crew access arm (CAA) has been extended in this view of the mobile launcher. The CAA is the entry and exit point astronauts will use for access to the Orion spacecraft. Tests will be conducted to ensure the arm and supporting mobile launcher systems are certified to support crewed missions. Artemis II will be the first Artemis mission flying crew aboard Orion.
