NASA's Artemis II craft meets the launch pad
Digest more
NASA early Saturday started the slow roll of the Artemis II rocket to Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida for final preparations before its mission to explore the moon.
NASA also announced that the next crewed mission, Crew-12, which for now is targeting a Feb. 15 launch, will be from SLC-40. Normally SpaceX uses Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39-A for its Crew Dragon flights, but did use SLC-40 once for Crew-9 in 2024. All four of SpaceX’s 2025 human spaceflights were from KSC.
