If all goes according to plan, the Artemis 2 mission will send astronauts into lunar orbit in 2024. An upper stage will send it on its way to the moon. Showers are predicted early in the day, according to The Weather Channel. Weather permitting, the Artemis 1 mission is scheduled to lift off sometime during a two-hour launch window that opens on Monday at 8:33 a.m. This is a test mission that will put both the booster and the Orion capsule, which will eventually carry astronauts through its paces. 29, NASA is scheduled to start the process of getting people back there.

Artemis 1: Yup, Alice, We're Going to the Moon - AVweb (AVweb)

I mean, come on, we’re going back to the Moon after two decades of stooging around in earth orbit on the International Space Station. Some at the time questioned whether the expenditure and risk were worth the gain, but there was at least keen national interest. And therein lies the downside of repurposing existing technology. The SLS has four and initially, it will use engines already flown on the Shuttle. In a sense, NASA is channeling its all-up history because it won’t fly any test flights in the interim. The only major component of it that has flown somewhat configured is the Orion crew capsule—in 2014. Piper did this with the Cherokee line, Beech with the Musketeer, the Sundowner and the Sierra. But it hardly lacks in boldness when you consider that the core booster of the Space Launch System that comprises Artemis 1 has never flown, much less the entire configuration. Even at that, NASA still flew sub-components of the Saturn system before launching the full stack. No humans aboard, just three instrumented mannequins, but someone gets to say go for TLI, a phrase last used in human space flight in December 1972 when Apollo 17 put the last crew on the lunar surface. Lunar Voyaging V2.0 is quite a bit different than the Apollo effort. In the dry parlance of NASA, it was “go for TLI”—translunar injection.

NASA is planning to launch Artemis 1 on the morning of Aug. But NASA will continue to prepare to launch Artemis 1 between 8:33 and 10:33am on Aug. Many more are likely to watch it virtually—the launch will be streamed on [NASA TV](https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html#public), the NASA [app](https://www.nasa.gov/connect/apps.html), and NASA's [website](https://www.nasa.gov/nasalive) as well as [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/nasa) and YouTube.

What the words you'll hear during the moon mission launch really ... (CNN)

Don't let the jargon used by NASA mission teams throw you off if you're tuning in to the Artemis I launch Monday. Here are some of the words and phrases you ...

During a hold, expect the countdown clock and T Minus time to stop, while the L Minus time will continue. After the launch, the team may refer to the solid rocket boosters as "SRB" and the launch abort system as "LAS." Two of the launch abort system's three engines can be used to return the Orion crew module safely to Earth in the event of a malfunction or systems failure during launch. There's a good chance the Artemis launch team will mention "ICPS," which refers to the interim cryogenic propulsion stage. If it's a "no go," the launch may be postponed. If the launch is a "go," that means things are on track.

Artemis 1: Everything you need to know about the launch of NASA's ... (Euronews)

The Artemis 1 mission is a test flight of massive importance. The launch, scheduled for Monday, will see an unmanned Orion module put into orbit around the Moon ...

We're going to learn a lot from this test flight". With a long-term presence established on or around the Moon, it would then be used for future missions further afield, including to Mars. You can say 'I worked on that rocket' and they're working on the second one and the third one and fourth one and the fifth one," said Lonnie Dutreix, director of Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. NASA will launch an unmanned Orion spacecraft into orbit around the Moon on a test run to ensure manned missions are as safe as possible. The Artemis 1 mission is a test flight of massive importance. This will be the first crewed lunar landing since Apollo 17 in 1972.

How to watch Artemis 1 lift off on a lunar journey and what to expect ... (CNN)

The uncrewed Artemis I mission, including the Space Launch System Rocket and Orion spacecraft, is targeting liftoff on August 29 between 8:33 a.m. ET and 10:33 ...

Orion will surpass the distance record of 248,654 miles (400,169 kilometers) -- set by Apollo 13 in 1970 -- on September 8 when it loops around the moon. Orion will make its second-closest approach of the lunar surface, coming within 500 miles (804 kilometers), on October 3. Just before reentering Earth's atmosphere, the service module will separate from Orion. This maneuver will put Orion on a path to the moon. The service module will place Orion in a distant retrograde orbit around the moon on day 10, or September 7. The core stage of the rocket will separate about eight minutes later and fall toward the Pacific Ocean, allowing for Orion's solar array wings to deploy. The perigree raise maneuver will occur about 12 minutes after launch, when the ICPS experiences a burn to raise Orion's altitude so it doesn't reenter the Earth's atmosphere. Orion's journey will last 42 days as it travels to the moon, loops around it and returns to Earth -- traveling a total of 1.3 million miles (2.1 million kilometers). The Orion spacecraft will enter a distant retrograde orbit of the moon and travel 40,000 miles beyond it, going further than any spacecraft intended to carry humans. At 10 minutes and counting, things kick into high gear as the spacecraft and rocket go through the final steps. The broadcast will begin at 12 a.m. However, closer to the end of the launch period the chances decrease to 60% as the chance for scattered showers and storms increases.

Artemis 1, NASA's first mission to the Moon since Apollo, set to take ... (ABC News)

The launch of the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built is scheduled to happen this evening from the same launch pad used by the last Apollo mission ...

"The goal is not to send people to the Moon and stay there, the goal is to do a transit between the lunar gateway and land on the Moon and start building whatever you need to build on the moon," Dr Vignelles said. Two of the shoe-box satellites on the Artemis 1 mission will map water at the south pole, and another will trial landing technology. In 2025, NASA plans to land the first woman and first person of colour near the Moon's south pole on Artemis 3. This flight will use an even more powerful version of the SLS rocket to lift the crew and cargo off the ground. Artemis 1 is the first of a number of missions. "Orion will be taking selfies down its solar wings of itself in the foreground, the Moon in the background and Earth [460,000km] away." Without the protection of Earth's magnetic field, astronauts travelling to the Moon will be exposed to more intense radiation, for much longer, than a trip to the International Space Station. The top half of the rocket and capsule then take about two hours to do a lap of Earth, while the solar panels on the capsules unfurl. If it doesn't burn up in the first phase, it will deploy parachutes and splash down in the Pacific off the coast of California on October 10. The 42-day journey will not only push the brand new rocket and capsule to the limit, it will test a new orbit, and go further than a craft capable of taking a crew further beyond the Moon has ever been before. Perched on top of the 32-storey-high rocket is a new space capsule set to fly beyond the Moon and back again. The big test will be how the rocket and capsule integrate with each other and communicate with the ground station, said Aude Vignelles, chief technology officer with the Australian Space Agency, which is signed to the Artemis program but not involved with the launch.
