Visibility Range Map: Where to See the Artemis I Mission Liftoff to the Moon

NASAs Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft will be visible along the Space Coast and throughout parts of Florida for a short minute or so launch after it launches on the uncrewed Artemis I flight test to the Moon. NASA is presently targeting the next launch effort of the Artemis I objective for Wednesday, November 16 during a 120-minute launch window that opens at 1:04 a.m. EST
. Artemis I will be the very first incorporated test of NASAs deep space expedition systems: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, and the ground systems at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Actual presence will depend on regional weather condition conditions as well as the precise timing and trajectory of the launch. After the rocket reaches 40,000 feet, which will happen 70 seconds after liftoff, the rocket will no longer be noticeable to the naked eye from the ground.

Throughout this flight, the Orion spacecraft will fly further than any spacecraft constructed for human beings has actually ever flown after releasing on the most powerful rocket on the planet. It will travel 280,000 miles from Earth, thousands of miles beyond the Moon over the course of about a three-week objective. Orion will remain in space longer than any ship for astronauts has actually done without docking to an area station and return home quicker and hotter than ever before. Credit: NASA
