NASA's Artemis I Mega Moon Rocket Rolled to the Launch Pad | This Week @NASA

Week of June 10, 2022: Our Artemis I mega Moon rocket is rolled to the launch pad, the astronauts of our Crew-2 mission come to Washington, and investigating the impact of dust on Earth's climate . . . a few of the stories to tell you about—This Week at NASA!

The NASA-led Artemis program is a new generation of lunar exploration missions designed to send humans farther into space than ever before. The Artemis missions are increasingly complex endeavours that will lay the foundation for sustainable human and robotic exploration of Earth's only natural satellite, the Moon. Through Artemis, NASA aims to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, heralding a new era for space exploration and utilization. 

While NASA is leading the Artemis missions, international partnerships will play a key role in achieving a sustainable and robust presence on the Moon while preparing to conduct a historic human mission to Mars.
