NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft for the Artemis II mission arrived back at Launch Pad 39B on March 20, 2026, completing a round trip to the Vehicle Assembly Building that consumed nearly a month of the mission’s schedule.

The Artemis II rocket that's to carry Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen around the moon made its way Friday to the launch pad ahead of its planned April blastoff.

Nasa's giant Moon rocket has returned to its launch pad for a second time, ahead of a mission to send astronauts around the Moon – something not attempted in more than 50 years. The 98m tall Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft made a four mile journey from their assembly building to Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

NASA's Artemis II rocket rollout is complete after a wind delay overnight, according to officials. The process was supposed to start at 8 p.m. on Thursday, moving the rocket from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center.
