NASA’s Moon Rocket Rolls to the Launchpad for the First Time



On March 17, 2022, the Orion spacecraft atop NASA’S SLS rocket rolled out to Launch Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center ahead of its wet dress rehearsal to test rocket operations. Upon completion of the tests, the rocket will return to the vertical assembly building for final checks before its historic launch for Artemis I later this spring.

Orion will conduct critical tests during the Artemis I mission to pave the way for future missions that will take human passengers back to the Moon for the first time since 1972.
