We have a big event in rocket launches this week! Do you remember NASA's moon mission that got scrubbed a few months ago? Well, this week the space agency is going to take another shot at it!
Artemis 1 RSS
We have quite a lot of launches this week. Aside from more attempts by NASA to launch the SLS, several companies and countries are planning to launch various satellites into orbit.
NASA is set to launch its historic Artemis I mission today. We will see the launch of the massive Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft will begin its journey to the Moon.
NASA may launch its first Artemis unmanned test flight in February 2022. It will be an important step in the space agency's goal of returning to the moon by the end of this decade.
NASA has reported that its Ascent Abort-2 mission, which tested Orion's launch abort system, was a success. With the mission out of the way, NASA engineers can focus their sights on future missions.
