NASA Artemis 1 mission: SLS rocket Orion spacecraft arrives at launchpad for final test

NASA Space Space Rocket System (SLS) with Orion Spacecraft Atop has arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in preparation for the final test before the artemis moon I Moon Agency I. Rockets have been rolled to PAD for the final test before it was launched. This test, called wet dress exercises, will run the launch team through the operation to load propellant into a rocket tank, do a full launch countdown, show the ability to recycle hours of countdown, and also draining the tank to practice the team’s schedule and procedure will be used for launching .

Before the test, all systems must undergo checkout on the pad. After training, NASA will review the data from the test before deciding the launch date for the upcoming launch A few days after testing, rocket and integrated spacecraft will return to the vehicle assembly building to remove the sensor used during exercises, battery cost systems, save the final load cargo, and run the final checkout. About a week Before the Launch, Orion and Sls Will Roll to the Launchpad For A Final Time.

“Rolling out of the vehicle assembly building is an iconic moment for this rocket and spacecraft, and this is a key milestone for NASA,” Said Tom Whitmeyer, an Administrator at the Agency, In a Press Statement. “Now at the pad for the first time, we will use the Integrated Systems to Practice The Launch Countdown and Load The Rocket With the Propellants It needs to Send Orion on a Lunar Journey in Preparation for Launch.”

With Artemis, NASA Aims to Establish Long-Term Exploration at the Moon, Preparing for a Human Mission To Mars, Along With The Human Landing Systems and a Gateway in Orbit Around the Moon. The Uncrewed Flight Test Mission Will Pave The Way For Many Moon Missions Including Ones That Will Land The First Woman and the First Person of Color on the Moon.
