Artemis II Rollout

NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot, speaks to members of the media as NASA’s Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft rolls out to Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday, Jan. 17, 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 Glover, Commander Reid Wiseman, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), around the Moon and back to Earth no later than April 2026.
