Engineers and technicians begin to drive crawler-transporter 2 inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 15, 2022. The crawler will slide under the Artemis I Space Launch System (SLS) with the Orion spacecraft atop on the mobile launcher and carry it to Launch Complex 39B for a wet dress rehearsal test ahead of launch. Artemis I will be the first integrated test of the SLS and Orion spacecraft. In later missions, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the surface of the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone on the way to Mars.
