NASA is preparing to launch Artemis 2, its first astronaut mission to the moon since 1972, with liftoff set for no earlier than April 1. Liftoff is set for 6:24 p.m. EDT (2224 GMT).
Artemis 2 will launch four astronauts on a 10-day voyage around the moon, reported Space.com.
The next major events occur on Sunday, when the Artemis 2 astronauts will speak to the press one last time before liftoff. Then, NASA will hold a press conference in the afternoon.
Artemis 2 astronauts arrived at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida on March 27, ahead of their mission to fly around the moon.
The crew has been in quarantine since March 20, when SLS was rolled from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to the pad at Launch Complex-39B (LC-39B), and will spend the days leading up to their mission continuing that quarantine at KSC, as reported by Space.com.
