Roll me mama, like an SLS.
On June 6, 2022, teams at @NASAKennedy Space Center rolled the Artemis I Moon rocket from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Complex 39B.
The Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft can be seen atop the crawler-transporter 2 and mobile launcher during the 4.2 mile (6.8 km) journey. Soon, teams will begin the next “wet dress rehearsal” attempt — a launchpad test that will take teams through the launch countdown ahead of the Artemis I mission.
Artemis I will test the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft as an integrated system prior to crewed flights to the Moon. Through @NASAArtemis, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and using the Moon as a steppingstone before venturing to Mars.
