NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard is seen atop the mobile launcher at Launch Pad 39B, Monday, Aug. 29, 2022, as the Artemis I launch teams loaded more than 700,000 gallons of cryogenic propellants including liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Artemis I flight test is the first integrated test of our deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, SLS rocket, and supporting ground systems.
NASA waved off the Aug. 29 launch attempt after a test to get the RS-25 engines on the bottom of the core stage to the proper temperature range for liftoff was not successful.
