At 11:21 a.m. EDT, our @NASAArtemis II rocket and Orion spacecraft reached Launch Pad 39B after a 4‑mile journey from @NASAKennedy’s Vehicle Assembly Building. Traveling at a maximum speed of just 0.82 mph, our crawler-transporter 2 carried the 322‑foot‑tall Moon rocket slowly and steadily to the launch pad.
