and back. If successful, NASA plans to have astronauts flying aboard the next two Artemis missions, with the space agency eyeing a lunar landing on Artemis 3 in 2025 or 2026.
The Artemis 1 stack has been standing at Pad 39B since June 6, after spending more than a month inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at KSC. NASA's first go at an Artemis 1 wet dress rehearsal took place at the beginning of April this year. Over several days, NASA technicians attempted but failed to fuel the rocket on three separate occasions.
In a call with reporters earlier this week, Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, Artemis launch director with the Exploration Ground Systems Program at KSC, said that the successful fueling of each stage will be a significant accomplishment."Provided that we get through those milestones, then we will go into our terminal count operations," Blackwell-Thompson said.
