NASA to roll out Artemis I spacecraft to launchpad and discuss science payloads

NASA is planning on moving its Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft to the launchpad on August 18 ahead of the Artemis I mission which is planned to launch no earlier than August 29. Before that, the space agency hold three teleconferences next week to announce the science and technology payloads that will fly on the space agency’s Artemis I test flight to the moon. The rolling of the spacecraft and the teleconferences will be live streamed NASA.
Artemis I will be an uncrewed flight test that will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to the moon. During Artemis I, the SLS rocket will carry ten “CubeSats,” which will be shoebox-sized payloads, along with several other science investigation payloads. Each of the payloads will perform science and technology experiments in deep space, helping expand the understanding of lunar science, technology developments and deep-space radiation.

You can learn more about the mission during the audio briefings that will be live streamed NASA. You can len to the live stream in the window above. The schedule for the live streamed sessions is as follows.
