This will be the first mission of its kind. “It’s a long way away from the Apollo sites,” Sarah Noble, Artemis I lunar science lead for NASA’s Planetary Science Division, told CNN.
“All six Apollo landing sites were in the sort of central part of the near side (of the Moon). And now we’re going to someplace completely different in ancient geologic terrain.”
Artemis I is scheduled to launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center’s Pad 39B on Monday at 8:33 a.m. EDT (1233 GMT).
