Artemis I Post Launch News Conference. A postlaunch news conference is held on Nov. 16, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, after launch of Artemis I at 1:47 EST from Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39B. Participants are, from left, Jackie McGuiness, NASA Communications; Bill Nelson, NASA administrator; Mike Sarafin, Artemis mission manager, NASA Headquarters; Mike Bolger, Exploration Ground Systems Program manager, Kennedy; John Honeycutt, Space Launch System Program manager, Marshall; Howard Hu, Orion Program manager, NASA’s Johnson Space Center; and Emily Nelson, chief flight director, Johnson. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration and demonstrate our commitment and capability to extend human presence to the Moon and beyond. The primary goal of Artemis I is to thoroughly test the integrated systems before crewed missions by operating the spacecraft in a deep space environment, testing Orion’s heat shield, and recovering the crew module after reentry, descent, and splashdown.
