The NASA moon rocket for the Artemis 1 mission to orbit the moon stands on Launch Pad 39B after the scheduled morning launch was scrubbed at the Kennedy Space Center, Monday, August 29, 2022, in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Artemis-1 will journey around the far side of the Moon after launching on a mission lasting four to six weeks – longer than any ship for astronauts has done without docking, before returning home faster and hotter than any vessel before. The mission objectives for this first flight of the SLS rocket and Orion capsule are to demonstrate its flight worthiness and the ability of Orion's heat shield in lunar reentry conditions.
