On Friday, **[NASA](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1494/nasa-insist-the-international-space-station-unaffected-by-ukraine-russia-war)** started its test of launching the Artemis I mission this summer. ## Highlights ``` SLS rocket test will be ended on Sunday mid-afternoon The launch date of Artemis will be finalized after reading the Data of the test A sound suppression system with water will be filled by teams ``` **Also Read: [NASA Post May Reveals an Idea for the Cat's Nebula Sound](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1448/nasa-post-may-reveals-an-idea-for-the-cat-s-nebula-sound)** NASA, America’s [Space Agency](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/32252/cryogenic-engine-for-upper-stage-of-gslv-mk-iii-was-successfully-tested-by-which-space-agency) begins its testing of critical two-day long test of its giant **Space Launch System (SLS)** rocket complete with a simulated countdown after the agency surges the speed of the mission of returning humans. NASA has given the final critical test as “wet dress rehearsal” which is the final major test before the Artemis I mission this summer. NASA has stated its mission details through a [blog](https://www.mindstick.com/developersection/blog) that includes the “countdown is now underway,” the blog was written at 5:00 pm, and the mission also confirmed that the members of the launch control team had been issued a “call to station” identity. On Monday, the officials of NASA plan to hold a press [conference](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11886/must-haves-conference-room-facilities-to-plan-a-corporate-event) to dictate the future information of the related mission, NASA has not allowed the public to listen to live conferences. Senior officer **Tom Whitmeyar** told about the conference as an important meeting that discussed certain key information, time sequences, that could help other countries looking to develop long-range missiles. He further added “We are really, super [sensitive](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/34778/recently-heard-about-ultra-sensitive-electronic-skins-what-is-it) to cryogenic [launch vehicles](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/100406/how-many-launch-vehicles-does-isro-have) that are of size and capability, (and) are very analogous to ballistic type [capabilities](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/490/explain-the-concepts-and-capabilities-of-assembly-in-dot-net) that other countries are very interested in,” Tom said but he also included that agency could re-evaluate the position in future. **Also Read: [NASA's Rover Perseverance Completes One Year's on Mars: Here Are Top Rover's Achievements](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1437/nasa-s-rover-perseverance-completes-one-year-s-on-mars-here-are-top-rover-s-achievements)** --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/1532/nasa-starts-artemis-i-critical-final-test-on-sls-mega-moon-rocket Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
