NASA planning for late August Artemis 1 launch
Posted: Sat, Jul 2, 2022, 12:27 PM ET (1627 GMT) NASA says it's on track to launch the first SLS as soon as late August. SLS managers said Friday that the campaign of practice countdowns for the SLS, known as wet dress rehearsals, was complete, and it will roll the rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building this Friday. Officials said only a handful of test objectives were not completed during the four rehearsals, but most of them had already been validated or could otherwise be tested, like hydraulic power units in the boosters tested over the weekend. NASA is targeting a launch in a window that runs from Aug. 23 through Sept. 6, depending on its progress over the next several weeks preparing the vehicle for launch.
