Space Launch System to undergo major test at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Artemis Program aims to land the first woman and the first person of color on the moon NASA's first Artemis mission in new deep space human exploration program DALLAS, March 21, 2022 -- The Jacobs team supported NASA rolling out the Artemis I rocket from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in preparation of final prelaunch tests of the Space Launch System (SLS). Artemis I, a flight test of the most powerful rocket NASA has ever built, will be the first mission in NASA's new deep space human exploration program, which aims to land the first woman and the first person of color on the moon and establish sustainable exploration in preparation for missions to Mars.
