Amazed! NASA Shows Mega Moon Rocket Against Rising Sun


 The Mega Moon rocket is seen "sunbathing" on its launch pad in Florida against the backdrop of the rising sun. This amazing moment was shared by NASA on social media.

The unmanned Artemis I mission is in its final testing phase before it can take off and fly around the Moon. Last week, NASA launched its Space Launch System rocket, also known as Mega Moon, and the Orion capsule to Launch Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center ahead of a major test called wet dress rehearsal. NASA's Exploration Ground Systems shared a series of beautiful sunrise portraits from this moment.

Mega Moon and Orion rockets look soaring and the view of the sunrise makes Artemis I look like a silhouette to highlight the details when the sky is clear. In one of these images, we can see the iconic NASA logo on the side of one of the boosters.


The Artemis I wet dress rehearsal is slated to take place in early April and will involve loading and unloading propellant and practicing the countdown process as if the rocket was actually about to take off. Mega Moon won't be flying at that time, but drills are being carried out for the purposes of the NASA team preparing for the actual launch. It is estimated that the Artemis I Mission will launch as early as the end of May 2022.



Artemis I will be the key to proving the Mega Moon rocket and Orion spacecraft are working as expected before the human mission of Artemis II is launched.
