Weather conditions are looking favorable for Monday morning's first launch attempt of NASA's Artemis-1 mission towards the Moon. NASA hold a prelaunch media briefing following the mission management team meeting with the following participants: Jeff Spaulding, Artemis I senior NASA test director Melody Lovin, weather officer, Space Launch Delta 45 The SLS rocket is targeted to launch during a two-hour window that opens at 8:33 a.m. EDT Monday, Aug. 29, from Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy. The rocket and spacecraft arrived at its launch pad Wednesday after the nearly 10-hour, four-mile trek from the Vehicle Assembly Building. With Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. We will collaborate with commercial and international partners and establish the first long-term presence on the Moon. Then, we will use what we learn on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars. LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawx...
