The Space Launch System rocket that launched Artemis I used a Boeing-built core stage.
The Artemis I launch was scrubbed on Monday, 2022-08-29 due to issues with one of the rocket’s four RS-25 engines and a vent valve.
Artemis I was scheduled to launch no earlier than 2022-08-29.
Artemis I is scheduled to launch in early 2022 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
All Artemis I smallsats are deployed after SLS completes its primary mission of launching the Orion spacecraft on a trajectory toward the Moon.
NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems team will perform final preparations on the Orion Artemis I spacecraft for its mission to the Moon later 2021.
Once delivered to Kennedy Space Center, the SLS core stage will be integrated with the solid rocket boosters and the Orion spacecraft in preparation for the Artemis I launch scheduled for 2021.
