About two hours ago, the transporter carrying the Orion Artemis 1 spacecraft departed from the Launch Abort System Facility to embark on a 6-mile (10-kilometer) trip to the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Here are some photos of tonight's move. Stand by for more images over the next two days as Orion is finally mated to the Space Launch System rocket for its inaugural flight as early as this January!
