NASA set to launch Artemis1 bright and early Monday morning. Here's how to watch:
All systems are a go at the Kennedy Space Center, the Florida-based NASA conclave currently home to the Artemis I rocket. Barring any last-minute changes, the space agency has officially cleared the mission for take-off bright and early on Monday, August 29th. As it stands now, the Artemis I mission—made up of the new Space Launch System rocket and the cutting-edge Orion space capsule—will launch from Pad 39B at 8:33 a.m. Eastern Time.
Artemis I is a big launch for a number of reasons, the largest being that it's the biggest step the United States has taken to get boots back on the moon. The Orion capsule is set to orbit the moon on a mission that will last upwards of 26 days. Should Artemis I be successful, NASA will then get to work on Artemis II, which will be the first crewed flight of the Artemis program.
