Today, the #NASA Spaceship, part of Artemis II mission, is transported to it's launch pad, ready to carry astronauts around the moon for the first time in five decades, from 6th February onwards. The Space Launch System (SLS) Moon rocket and Orion Space Capsule will journey from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to a launch pad around four miles (6.4km) away. The operation is expected to take around 12 hours. The 10-day mission could take its astronauts further into space than anyone has been before. It aims to set the stage for an eventual human landing on the lunar surface for the first time since the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 70s. The potential launch dates are : 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11 February 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 March 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 April #NASA #Artemis #LunarOrbit #Lunarlandings #GECSpaceProgramme #GEC #GECSpaceCity Canary Wharf Space Innovation Hub https://lnkd.in/dvkzRU5w
