Artemis I 2nd Launch Attempt Bridge Location

A group of young children with an Artemis flag are photographed on the Max Brewer Bridge in Titusville, Florida, as they wait to watch the launch of NASA’s Artemis I mission on Sept. 3, 2022. The launch was waived off for the day. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration and demonstrate our commitment and capability to extend human presence to the Moon and beyond. The primary goal of Artemis I is to thoroughly test the integrated systems before crewed missions by operating the spacecraft in a deep space environment, testing Orion’s heat shield, and recovering the crew module after reentry, descent, and splashdown.
