The August 29 launch was scrubbed just minutes before launch time due to an issue cooling one of the engines. Astronauts will not set foot on the moon until Artemis III. If all goes well, NASA will begin planning Artemis II, a crewed mission following more or less the same route. From there, Orion will orbit the moon and return to Earth. The SLS will launch the Orion capsule out of Earth’s orbit. The mission is meant to spend around 40 days in space.

A full Moon is in view from Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 14, 2022. Look familiar? The SLS system inspired one of the 2022 LEGO® City sets. This is the portion of the spaceship that actually carries humans to the moon, similar to the Apollo command modules from years past. Additionally, Artemis I tests out the Orion Space Capsule. This base will serve as pitstop between us and eventual connecting flights to Mars. No human has set foot on the moon since 1972.
Of course, before we can consider deep space, we need to return to the moon and establish a base there. This feat of rocketry launches astronauts and payloads into deep space, or the region of space beyond our moon. So, what is the Artemis I mission? Essentially, it is the test flight of NASA’s new SLS (Space Launch System).

Afterall, if all goes to plan, the Minifigures will launch this Friday, September 2 instead. With the Artemis Minifigure Mission delayed, we decided to go ahead with the themed week anyway. True North Bricks planned Space Week around the momentous event. Astronauts Kate and Kyle from the LEGO® Education Build to Launch initiative were joined by City-theme counterparts, Julia and Sebastian, rounding out the four Minifigure crew. While no human astronauts will board Artemis I, the ship’s cargo includes four LEGO® Minifigures. This represents the first mission leading to mankind’s return to the moon and eventual journey to Mars. On August 29, 2022, NASA planned the historic launch of Artemis I.
