Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 02-19-2026 06:09 PM NASA release <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]Closeout crew departs the launch pad[/b]</font> NASA’s Artemis II closeout crew has completed its critical tasks and departed NASA Kennedy's Launch Complex 39B during the Artemis II wet dress rehearsal. The departure of the closeout crew marks the transition to the final countdown phase of the test, ensuring the launch pad is clear and safe for simulated liftoff procedures. Their work validates launch day protocols and confirms Orion and the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket are configured for flight readiness. With the pad secured, teams will continue monitoring fueling operations and prepare for wet dress rehearsal terminal count: the final ten minutes of the countdown.</blockquote>
