Nasa’s Artemis II Live Views From Kennedy Space Center

This live feed from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida provides continuous views of the Artemis II Moon rocket beginning on Saturday, Jan. 17. This with rollout from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B.

NASA concluded a wet dress rehearsal for the agency’s Artemis II test flight on Tuesday, Feb. 3. It successfully loaded cryogenic propellant into the SLS (Space Launch System) tanks.  Sending a team out to the launch pad to closeout Orion, and safely draining the rocket.

The wet dress rehearsal was a prelaunch test to fuel the rocket, designed to identify any issues and resolve them before attempting a launch.

Engineers pushed through several challenges during the two-day test and met many of the planned objectives. To allow teams to review data and conduct a second wet dress rehearsal, NASA now will target March as the earliest possible launch opportunity for the flight test.

Through Artemis, NASA sends astronauts to explore the Moon. This for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build the foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen are the Artemis II astronauts.
