Space lovers will be able to watch NASA’s Artemis I launch via a first-row seat on NASA TV. Here’s what you need to know.
NASA’s Artemis missions have officially kicked off a new era of space exploration. The space agency broadcast the entire event live on its NASA Live channel and has since uploaded a broadcast video for the entire Artemis I launch event on its YouTube channel.
NASA originally planned to complete the debut launch of its Space Launch System on Monday, August 19. The launch was grounded due to trouble with one of the engines. After that, NASA aimed to launch the rocket before the end of September. However, plans fell through, and NASA pushed the plans to send Artemis I flying toward the stars to November 14.
The Artemis I launch finally saw its completion on November 16, 2022, after several delays.
NASA hoped to launch the Artemis I mission on November 16, 2022, and the latest launch attempt was successful, with the rocket booster lifting off around 1:50 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
The launch of the first Artemis mission had seen multiple delays leading up to its successful attempt. Most recently, NASA had returned Artemis I to the Vehicle Assembly Building to help protect it from incoming rain and weather caused by Hurricane Ian.
