This is a replay of the live stream.
NASA’s Space Launch System super heavy-lift rocket will launch from LC-39B at Kennedy Space Center, on its first test flight with an uncrewed Orion spacecraft. The mission, known as Artemis 1, will place the Orion spacecraft into orbit around the moon for 3-4 weeks. Orion will then return to Earth for splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. Ten small CubeSat rideshare payloads will also tag along. This test flight paves the way for the first crewed mission to return humans to the Moon - Artemis 2 - currently planned for May 2024.
