# To Launch on August 29 NASA Prepares Artemis I SLS-Orion Spacecraft

**NASA** has been getting ready for Artemis I, the launch of its **Space Launch System (SLS) rocket**, along with the **Orion** spacecraft for astronauts, that was all ready to blast off on **August 29**. The **U.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)** has been preparing to check its flight system that has been designed to send astronauts back to the **Moon**, decades after it has completed its **Apollo missions**. Well, [NASA](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1881/results-about-possibility-of-life-on-mars-was-revealed-by-nasa-s-mars-insight-lander-data) has been preparing for the [next generation](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/341550/the-mind-blowing-next-generation-innovations-in-assistive-technology-bridging-the-career-gaps) of [space travel](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/115397/how-does-spacex-s-approach-to-space-travel-compare-to-traditional-aerospace-companies). The agency's SLS spacecraft was considered to be the latest vertical launch system which had been developed by NASA.

Earlier this week, NASA had completed a flight readiness review for the Artemis I launch, prior to the scheduled test flight on **August 29**. The administrators of the flight have met at **Kennedy Space Center in Florida** and has confirmed that the mission was prepared for launch. The SLS-Orion [spacecraft](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1073/a-nasa-spacecraft-has-touched-the-sun-for-the-first-time-ever) has been expected to blast off on **Monday**.

Artemis I has been [considered as](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/156093/what-is-considered-as-more-significant-creating-content-or-building-backlinks) the first for NASA and the agency's test flight has been the first in a series of increasingly complicated missions. The uncrewed flight test would give [foundation](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/157275/passed-peoplecert-it-infrastructure-library-itil-4-foundation-exam-today) for human deep [space exploration](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/302957/spacetech-surges-recent-breakthroughs-in-space-exploration), as per NASA as it has been planning to send back humans to the Moon and explore a lot more on the lunar surface.

Well, last week NASA's [SLS rocket](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81756/why-nasa-s-sls-rocket-is-so-special) and the Orion spacecraft Artemis I mission had arrived on at the **Kennedy Space Center in Florida** after a **10-hour journey** that was started from **NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building**.

According to NASA the space agency's engineers and technicians were presently engaged on configuring systems at the pad prior to the launch. The SLS-Orion spacecraft was anticipated to launch on **Monday** at **8:33am EDT (6:03pm IST)**.

**Artemis I** would stress out the **SLS-Orion** spacecraft's systems as a part of NASA's plans to verify whether or not the system was prepared to take astronauts to the moon. It was a goal that the space agency has being aiming to complete by **2025**, prior to its plans to send humans to different planets which would include Mars as well.
