Teams at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida lifted the Orion spacecraft and placed it atop the Space Launch System (SLS) Moon rocket, completing assembly for the Artemis I flight test. The spacecraft, complete with its launch abort system, was secured in place Oct. 21, 2021, and teams will begin conducting a series of tests on the fully assembled Moon rocket, now standing 322 feet tall, ahead of launch. The mission, known as Artemis I, will pave the way for a future flight test with crew before NASA establishes a regular cadence of more complex missions with astronauts on and around the Moon. With Artemis, the agency will land the first woman and the first person of color on the surface of the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone on the way to Mars.

位于佛罗里达州的美国国家航空航天局肯尼迪航天中心的团队吊起猎户座航天器，并将其置于太空发射系统（SLS）登月火箭之上，完成了阿耳忒弥斯I号任务飞行测试的组装。2021年10月21日，航天器连同其发射中止系统被固定到位，团队将开始在发射前对完全组装好的月球火箭进行一系列测试，现在它有322英尺高。这项任务被称为阿耳忒弥斯I号任务，在NASA建立更复杂的宇航员在月球上和周围的常规任务之前，它将为未来有乘员的飞行测试铺平道路。通过阿耳忒弥斯，NASA构将让第一位女性和第一位有色人种登陆月球表面，为长期的月球存在铺平道路，并成为通往火星的垫脚石。
