Check out this striking image taken high above the Kennedy Space Center showing NASA's SLS rocket on the launchpad ahead of next week's maiden flight.
NASA is targeting November 14 for the maiden launch of its next-generation Space Launch System rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The mission, Artemis I, is a test run for the Artemis II mission that will take the same route, but with astronauts aboard. After that, Artemis III will put the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface. Scheduled for no earlier than 2025, Artemis III will also mark the first crewed moon landing since the final Apollo mission in 1972.
And with 8.8 million pounds of thrust at launch — that’s 13% more power than the Space Shuttle and 15% more than the Saturn V rocket that powered the Apollo missions — the liftoff promises to be a spectacular sight, one that’s set to attract thousands of people to Florida’s Space Coast, with many more watching online.
