NASA’s Artemis 1 moon rocket heads back to the launch pad tonight
, the overnight rollout is a concession toward utility. Moving the vehicle at night means NASA can avoid subjecting it to the worst of Flordia’s hot and humid daytime weather. Once Artemis 1 is back at Pad 39B, NASA plans to restart the rocket’s “wet dress rehearsal” on June 19th.
Provided there aren’t further setbacks, the June 19th fueling trial will take about 48 hours to complete. If all goes according to plan, the earliest Artemis 1 could get underway is on, though it’s among dozens of potential launch dates NASA has plotted out between now and the end of 2022, with more dates available next year.
