Crawler Transporter Roll to VAB for Artemis I WDR Rollout

The crawler-transporter 2, driven by engineers and technicians, arrives at the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 11, 2022. The crawler will go inside the VAB, where it will slide under the Artemis I Space Launch System with the Orion spacecraft atop on the mobile launcher and carry it to Launch Complex 39B for a wet dress rehearsal test ahead of the Artemis I launch. Artemis I will be the first integrated test of the SLS and Orion spacecraft. In later missions, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the surface of the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone on the way to Mars.
