NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket for the Artemis 1 mission and the Orion Spacecraft, more than 11 hours after the launch at Kennedy Space Center reached the ramp. SLS and Orion will be tested and returned to the assembly building for final checks before launch.
The last major test before launch
The SLS and Orion, which were removed from the assembly building and delivered to the launch pad on a tracked carrier for a distance of 6.4 kilometers, will be tested in April. There will be no launch in the tests, but the things to be done until the launch will be rehearsed.
Following the tests to be conducted, the rocket and spacecraft will be taken back to the assembly building to remove the test sensors, recharge the batteries and complete final checks before proper launch.
