Fifty years after the final Apollo mission, NASA’s Space Launch System is ready to launch a spacecraft capable of carrying humans to the moon.
NASA’s highly-anticipated Artemis I moon mission is set to launch and you can watch the event live online. But what time will the space agency’s next-generation mega-rocket lift off?
The mission involves NASA’s 322-foot-tall Space Launch System (SLS)—the most powerful rocket ever built—which is scheduled to lift off on August 29 from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. After more than a decade in development, this will be the rocket’s first flight.
NASA has a two-hour launch window that opens at 8:33 a.m. ET on Monday. The window was chosen due to the beneficial alignment of our planet and the moon at this time.
