Join us LIVE at 11am ET on Friday June 24th for a teleconference briefing where NASA will discuss the next steps for the Artemis I mission with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Teams conducted a wet dress rehearsal Monday, June 20, to validate the timelines and procedures for launch, including loading propellant into the rocket’s tanks, performing the launch countdown through the handover to the automated launch sequencer, and draining the tanks.

NASA has reviewed the data from the rehearsal and determined the testing campaign is complete. The agency will roll SLS and Orion back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy next week to prepare the rocket and spacecraft for launch and repair a leak detected during the most recent rehearsal. NASA plans to return SLS and Orion to the pad for launch in late August. NASA will set a specific target launch date after replacing hardware associated with the leak.

NASA officials will discuss the outcome of the wet dress rehearsal, plans to return the rocket and spacecraft to the VAB, and repair the leak.

Teleconference participants include:
- Tom Whitmeyer, deputy associate administrator for Common Exploration Systems Development, NASA Headquarters
- Phil Weber, senior technical integration manager, Exploration Ground Systems Program, NASA Kennedy
- John Blevins, chief engineer, Space Launch System Program, NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center
- Cliff Lanham, senior vehicle operations manager, Exploration Ground Systems Program, NASA Kennedy
