NASA's Artemis II mission, heavily anticipated for next month, prepares to send four astronauts around the moon. The Space Launch System was moved to its launchpad in Florida, marking a crucial step.
After rollout is complete, NASA will conduct a number of checkouts with Artemis 2's SLS and Orion. One of the most important tests is a wet dress rehearsal, during which teams will load the rocket with its cryogenic propellants and conduct a simulated launch countdown.
