NASA Artemis I Moon Rocket at Sunrise | Kennedy Space Center

NASA Artemis I Moon Rocket at Sunrise | Kennedy Space Center




A sunrise view of NASA’s Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft for Artemis I on the pad at Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Aug. 18, 2022. Launch of Artemis I is scheduled for no earlier than Aug. 29, 2022, at 8:34 a.m. EDT. 

The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration and demonstrate our commitment and capability to extend human presence to the Moon and beyond. 

The primary goal of Artemis I is to thoroughly test the integrated systems before crewed missions by operating the spacecraft in a deep space environment, testing Orion’s heat shield, and recovering the crew module after reentry, descent, and splashdown.
