ARTEMIS I Moon Rocket system and launch video

This reel shows major milestones for NASA’s mega Moon rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS). Following its debut flight with the launch of Artemis I in November 2022, NASA and its partners across the country continue to make progress building, assembling, and testing hardware for SLS rockets that will power the first crewed Artemis missions with Artemis II, III, and IV. Video highlights include: Artemis I launch footage; core stage production for Artemis II and III at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans; testing at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama; launch vehicle stage adapter production for Artemis II and III also at Marshall; and, propulsion testing of the solid rocket boosters and RS-25 engines for future SLS flights. Also included is video showing the System Integration Lab at Marshall where the flight software and avionics systems are tested as well as the Space Launch System (SLS) Engineering Support Center where many Marshall engineers work during launch.
NASA is working to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon under Artemis. SLS is part of NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration, along with Orion and the Gateway in orbit around the Moon. SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and supplies to the Moon in a single mission.
