NASA's Artemis I Launch Fulldome Livestream (CANCELLED)

Date: Saturday, September 3, 2022
Time: 1:30 - 3:30 PM
Event Types: Family Friendly, STEM Events
Cost: Free
UPDATE: Saturday's planned launch has been scrubbed for a second time.
The launch director waived off today’s Artemis I launch attempt at approximately 11:17 AM EDT. Teams encountered a liquid hydrogen leak while loading the propellant into the core stage of the Space Launch System rocket. Multiple troubleshooting efforts to address the area of the leak by reseating a seal in the quick disconnect where liquid hydrogen is fed into the rocket did not fix the issue. Engineers are continuing to gather additional data.
Radford University Planetarium presents the NASA's Artemis I Launch Fulldome Livestream on Saturday, September 3, 2022.
Note: The original launch date of Monday, August 29, 2022 was scrubbed after issues were found during pre-launch testing.
We're back! We will re-open with a "bang" with a Saturday afternoon Artemis Launch Party and livestream. This will be a full-dome showing of the stream from NASA as Artemis prepares and then launches with a launch window of 2:17-4:17 PM (weather permitting). Join us for this historic event!
Artemis I is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions that will enable human exploration to the Moon and Mars.
We will open the doors and start the livestream at 1:30 PM, and will continue until 3:30 PM.
We will seat visitors on a first-come basis. If there are too many people for the planetarium, Dr. Liss (Astronomy professor) will take people into an astronomy room to view the same livestream.
Please note that the launch is weather-dependent.
