Artemis II Rolls to Pad for Rollout, With Media Briefings Set
NASA’s Artemis II stack is moving from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center for rollout, with a series of media events on Jan. 16–17 and live streams. The mission will carry astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen aboard Orion atop the SLS; the 11-million-pound stack will traverse about a mile per hour over up to 12 hours. Final launch timing remains subject to readiness and weather, with the earliest window as soon as Feb. 6 and a possible rollback if needed. NASA will post updates on its Artemis blog.
