After departing from the Launch Abort System Facility about two hours before, the Orion Artemis 1 capsule has arrived at Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB)...where NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket awaits the Moon-bound vessel!

Within the next 24 hours, Orion will be lifted up and transferred over to the VAB's High Bay 3 where SLS sits atop its mobile launcher.

After years of anticipation, it should be tomorrow morning that the mega-Moon rocket is finally complete!
