NASA’s Giant Artemis I Moon Rocket Has Arrived at the Launch Pad Ahead of Historic Mission

On November 3, about 11:17 p.m. EDT, the crawler-transporter started the almost 4-mile drive from the VAB to the launch pad. The Moon rocket paused outside the VAB high-bay doors to enable the team to reconfigure the crew access arm on the mobile launcher before proceeding to the launch pad.

On November 4, 2022, NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft will arrive at Launch Pad 39B at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, ahead of the uncrewed Artemis I launch.
