Artemis I rocket takes shelter in assembly building from Hurricane Ian [i]With NASA's Artemis I rocket back inside its assembly building, the next chance to launch the moon-bound mission will depend on the aftermath of an approaching storm and the pace at which workers can complete critical hardware checks, agency officials said. The towering Space Launch System (SLS) booster and its Orion spacecraft were rolled back from launch pad 39B to take shelter from Hurricane Ian as it nears Florida. Riding a crawler-transporter, the vehicle and its mobile launcher began the 4.2-mile (6.8-km) trip at 11:21 p.m. EDT on Monday (0321 GMT Sept. 27) and was secured inside the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at the Kennedy Space Center at approximately 9:15 a.m. EDT (1315 GMT) on Tuesday.[/i]
