Through Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone to send astronauts to Mars.įor updates, follow along on NASA’s Artemis blog at: During the test, the team may hold during the countdown as necessary to verify conditions before resuming the countdown, or extend beyond the test window, if needed and resources allow. The team will count down to a targeted two-hour test window that opens at 2:40 p.m. if they are “go” or “no-go” to begin tanking the rocket. On Monday, June 20, the launch director and mission management team chair decide at approximately 7 a.m. EDT Saturday, June 18 with “call to stations,” when members of the launch control team will arrive at their consoles to start the approximately two-day countdown. The rehearsal is the final test needed before launch and will begin at 5 p.m. To participate by telephone, media must RSVP no later than two hours prior to the start of the event to: Artemis I Moon rocket returned to the spaceport’s launch pad 39B Monday, June 6, after an eight-hour journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building.
