The Apollo-era vehicle, originally built to move Saturn V rockets, weighs 5.75 million pounds (2.60 million kilograms) and was used to move NASA space shuttles and the Ares I-X test rocket to the pad. Today's rollout marks the biggest move in years for NASA's massive crawler carrier vehicle as well. Today's rollout is a debut of sorts for the rocket and will kick off a month of pad tests that, NASA hopes, will include a "wet dress rehearsal" to fuel the rocket for the first time. The Artemis 1 mission will launch an uncrewed Orion spacecraft around the moon no earlier than late May 2022. Gohd is at the Kennedy Space Center and will cover the rollout overnight for.

NASA's Space Launch System rocket being readied for rollout ahead of its test flight to the moon later this year. While the exact rollout date and new launch date have not yet been announced, Mike Sarafin, the Artemis 1 mission manager at NASA Headquarters, said during the news conference that if the launch is pushed to April or May, a launch window would extend from April 8 to April 23 another would open May 7 and close May 21.
