Here you can watch live the rocket and spacecraft landing on the new moon at the launch site

According to the current position, NASA will send astronauts to the moon again in 2025, 53 years after the last Apollo mission. The Artemis-3 mission, which includes accommodation on the new moon, will be preceded by two events: the Orion spacecraft will launch on its first launch on the Space Launch System (SLS) launch vehicle (Artemis-1) in May 2022 at the earliest. Orion is fired aboard (Artemis – 2), which this time reaches the other side of the moon, but after 10 days in space, it brings the astronauts home to Earth without being able to enter the moon.

Now, however, we can see an even earlier, but no less important phase of the Artemis program: the super-heavy launcher developed since 2011, the SLS, which is even taller than the Statue of Liberty in New York, together with the Orion spacecraft late on March 17, 2022 begins its first journey from the assembly plant to the launch site of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 6.4-kilometer journey, using a giant crawler transport vehicle, will take NASA an estimated 6 to 12 hours, which is not surprising given the SLS’s 2,500-tonne weight.
