Artemis I Liftoff – Kennedy Space Center [1]

[]

Date: 2022-11-16

NASA’s Space Launch System rocket, carrying the uncrewed Orion spacecraft lifted off from Launch Complex 39B in Florida at 1:47 a.m. EST.

The primary goal of Artemis I is to thoroughly test the integrated systems before crewed missions by operating the spacecraft in a deep space environment, testing Orion’s heat shield, and recovering the crew module after reentry, descent, and splashdown.

Below are the ascent milestones that will occur over the next two hours. Times may vary by several seconds.
