Programs

Artemis

The Artemis program is a US government-funded crewed spaceflight program that has the goal of landing "the first woman and the next man" on the Moon, specifically at the lunar south pole region by 2024.

SLS Green Run Hot Fire

2021-01-16T22:26:00+0000

The core stage of the Space Launch System will undergo the final 'Green Run' test, where the four RS-25 engines will be fired for 8 minutes, demonstrating performance similar to an actual launch.

SLS 2nd Hot Fire Test

2021-03-18T20:37:00+0000

NASA successfully conducted a second Green Run hot fire with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket’s core stage that will launch the Artemis I mission to the Moon. The four RS-25 engines were fired for 8 minutes, demonstrating performance similar to an actual launch.

NASA will hold a media teleconference to provide an update on the rollout of the Space Launch System rocket, currently scheduled for March 17th, as well as the wet-dress rehearsal the vehicle will undergo.

Artemis-1 SLS Rollout #1

2022-03-17T21:45:00+0000

NASA will roll out their first fully stacked Space Launch System (SLS) rocket to LC-39B, where it will complete a wet dress rehearsal (WDR) which involves loading the vehicle with propellants and taking the vehicle through the countdown to ignition where the countdown is halted. After the WDR, NASA will roll the vehicle back to the Vehicle Assembly Building to complete final checks prior to rolling out for launch later this year. The rollout is expected to take around 11 hours, and will utilise an upgraded crawler transporter - the same system its predecessors (Space Shuttle, Ares, Saturn, etc.) used.
