Artemis 1 Space Launch System mission animation

Later this year, NASA’s Space Launch System rocket is going to be rolled to Launch Complex 39B for the Artemis 1 mission to send an uncrewed Orion spacecraft on a trip around the Moon. Watch this video for a detailed look at the Artemis 1 mission: For a recap of the two scrubbed launch attempts for Artemis 1, click here: NOTE: The Aug. 29 and Sept. 3, 2022, launch attempts were scrubbed. Further, Hurricane Ian prompted NASA to roll the rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. The next launch attempt is likely no earlier than mid-to-late November. While the job of the Space Launch System will last for less than 10 minutes, the rest of the mission will see Orion sent into a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon where it will stay there for several weeks before returning to Earth. SLS stands 98 meters tall and is expected to have a liftoff thrust of 8.8 million pounds. It has two five-segment solid rocket boosters that provide the bulk of that thrust for about two minutes. After that, the core stage and its four RS-25 engines will continue firing to about 8.5 minutes after liftoff. From there, the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage, or ICPS, and Orion will separate. The ICPS will place Orion on a lunar insertion trajectory.
