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 will launch its Artemis I mission this week, the first in a long line of missions to return to the Moon. SpaceX will launch more Starlink satellites, and Blue Origin will ferry NASA satellites.
NASA has announced it'll carry out the final Green Run test for the SLS' core stage. This will be the final core stage test before Artemis I in November which will integrate SLS and Orion.
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.
