Artemis II Rollout

NASA Artemis II astronaut, Victor Glover, pilot, speaks with children who came to watch the rollout of the agency’s Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2026. In the coming weeks, engineers will prepare for the wet dress rehearsal, a two-day test that simulates launch day. The Artemis II test flight will take Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen around the Moon and back to Earth no later than April 2026.
