Kennedy Countdown for Oct. 22, 2021

The rocket that will send the uncrewed Orion spacecraft on a journey around the Moon is now fully assembled at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Teams with Exploration Ground Systems and contractor Jacobs lowered Orion onto the Space Launch System stack inside the Vehicle Assembly Building in preparation for the Artemis I launch. Also, NASA and SpaceX now are targeting Sunday, Oct. 31, for the agency's Crew-3 launch to the International Space Station. The mission will send NASA astronauts Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn, and Kayla Barron, as well as ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer to the space station for a six-month science mission. Liftoff is scheduled for 2:21 a.m. EDT from Kennedy's Launch Complex 39A.
