NASA’s Artemis I mission will be the first flight of the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. It will launch an uncrewed Orion spacecraft to the Moon, where it will enter a highly elliptical retrograde orbit. In 2022, final tests, checkouts, and preparations were on schedule to be completed, including the vital wet dress rehearsal (WDR) at Kennedy Space Center’s (KSC) Launch Complex 39B. Following successful completion of WDR, which is expected in summer 2022, the Artemis I launch vehicle will be returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at KSC where it will be prepared for launch. Important data were collected during launch and will be shared as applicable. While the Artemis I hardware and mission took center stage in 2022, significant progress was made on hardware and software for future Artemis missions, including for the first crewed launch and the following SLS Block 1B and Block 2 variants of the rocket.
