After scrubbing for safety, NASA’s Artemis I Wet Dress Rehearsal Test continues
The Moon serves as a backdrop for the Artemis I Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion spacecraft on Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 21, 2022. The SLS and the Orion on the mobile launch vehicle were transported to the Crawler-Transporter 2 launch pad for a pre-launch test called Wet Dress Rehearsal. Artemis I will be the first integrated test of the SLS and Orion spacecraft. In later missions, 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 serving as a stepping stone on the way to Mars.
