Artemis I Path to the Pad

Watch documentary footage of our Space Launch System (SLS) rocket’s transformation into the over-300-foot-tall launch vehicle that will return humanity to the Moon.

Watch as teams at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center prepare Orion for that journey, outfitting the spacecraft with its necessary components as it moves along its path to the pad.

Watch SLS and Orion continue on their path to the pad as they travel to Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39B for a full countdown rehearsal – an operation involving hundreds of engineers stationed all across the nation.

Watch as we document Orion’s splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, closing the first chapter in America’s next deep space exploration story.
