The Artemis III core stage booster arrived at KSC Monday. The mission is set to launch next year, testing the rendezvous and docking ability of the Orion spacecraft.

The four astronauts spent more than nine days in the Orion space capsule on their journey, testing the vehicle for future missions and taking observations of the far side of the moon. It took them farther than any humans have ever traveled in space.
