Meteorologists with the U.S. Space Force Space Launch Delta 45 currently forecast a 70% possibility of beneficial climate condition for launch on August 29. The primary weather issue for the two-hour launch window is scattered shower. A list of launch weather condition requirements is readily available here.
NASA is offering a live stream of the rocket and spacecraft at the pad. The countdown is set to formally begin at 10:23 a.m. EDT (7:23 a.m. PDT) on Saturday, August 27.
A full schedule of occasions is available here.
Engineering groups continue to prepare NASAs mega Moon rocket, Orion spacecraft, and ground systems for the Artemis I release. It will be the very first flight of the firms Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the total Orion spacecraft.

At Kennedy Space Center Launch Pad 39B, specialists completed servicing the hydraulic power units on the Space Launch System rockets boosters on Wednesday. After finishing the final work inside the Orion crew module, consisting of filling the Snoopy zero gravity indication and getting rid of soft covers protecting Orions windows and seats, the team module hatch was closed at roughly 3:30 a.m. on Thursday.
Next, engineers will close the launch abort system hatch and withdraw the crew gain access to arm utilized to supply access to the spacecraft. Booster and core stage engine service platforms in addition to side flame deflectors have actually been moved into position for launch.
