A test flight for NASA’s new moon rocket remains on track for Monday despite lightning strikes at the launch pad. The test is poised to send an empty crew capsule into lunar orbit. If that goes well, astronauts could return to the moon in a few years.
Storm clouds roll in over the NASA moon rocket as it stands ready for launch on Pad 39B for the Artemis 1 mission at the Kennedy Space Center, Saturday, Aug. 27, 2022, in Cape Canaveral, Fla. The launch is scheduled for Monday morning Aug. 29.
The 322-foot Space Launch System rocket is the most powerful ever built by NASA. It’s poised to send an empty crew capsule into lunar orbit, a half-century after NASA’s Apollo program, which landed 12 astronauts on the moon.
