NASA is about to send its next-generation rocket to the launchpad for the first time and has released a trailer highlighting its maiden mission.
It’s going to be quite a sight when NASA’s next-generation Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft appear on the launch pad for the very first time later this week.
Ahead of the rocket’s four-mile journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center to Launch Pad 39B on Thursday, NASA has released a trailer highlighting the upcoming Artemis I mission and the hopes that it holds. When SLS reaches the launchpad later this week, it will undergo final tests in preparation for the uncrewed Artemis I mission that could launch as early as May this year. Artemis I will involve SLS sending Orion on a flyby of the moon with the spacecraft set to return to Earth about 26 days later.
