Join us LIVE from Pad 39B at NASA Kennedy Space Center as NASA conducts a Wet Dress Rehearsal of their Next Generation Moon Rocket the Space Launch System (SLS)!

During the test, the launch teams will rehearse operations to load propellant into the rocket’s tanks, conduct a full launch countdown, demonstrate the ability to recycle the countdown clock, and drain the tanks to give them an opportunity to practice the timelines and procedures they will use for launch.
