🔴 Live Now: Artemis II Launch Pad 39B in 4K | Watch NASA’s Moon Rocket Before Liftoff (Cam C)

Welcome to our live view of Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where Artemis II is set to launch no earlier than 6:24 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. Artemis II is NASA’s first crewed mission of the Artemis program, sending astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen on an approximately 10-day journey around the Moon and back. This is NASA's SLC-39B Cam. This livestream looks toward the historic pad where NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft will lift off. Orion will carry the crew on a lunar flyby mission designed to test the spacecraft’s life-support systems with humans aboard for the first time and help prepare for future missions deeper into space. NASA’s countdown is already underway. In the final phase of launch preparations at Pad 39B, teams have been powering up flight hardware, checking communications, preparing cryogenic systems, and filling the pad’s sound suppression water system, which will release a massive water deluge at liftoff to protect the vehicle from acoustic energy. NASA also noted that non-essential personnel cleared the pad as engineers shifted the launch site into its final configuration ahead of fueling. The Artemis II rocket arrived at Launch Pad 39B on March 20, 2026, after rollout at Kennedy Space Center, and NASA says the early April launch period includes opportunities through April 6. Artemis II is a major milestone in NASA’s Moon to Mars campaign and will be the first crewed flight of the SLS rocket, Orion spacecraft, and the ground systems needed to support a human lunar mission from Kennedy Space Center.
