Building on June 27, 2019, and arrived on the surface of pad B on June 28, 2019,
at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Media accreditation is now open for launch and prelaunch activities related to
NASA’s Artemis I mission, the first mission in exploration systems built for
crew that will travel around the Moon since Apollo. Approximately a week’s worth
of events will lead up to the launch of the agency’s Space Launch System rocket
and Orion spacecraft, targeted for no earlier than March 2022 from NASA’s
Kennedy Space Center in Florida.



The uncrewed Artemis I mission will launch from Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39B and
is the first integrated flight test of NASA’s Artemis deep space exploration
systems. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, the mission
will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration and demonstrate
NASA’s commitment and capability to establish a long-term presence at the Moon
and beyond.



NASA will set an official target launch date after a successful wet dress
rehearsal test – one of the final tests before launch involving fuel loaded into
the rocket – currently planned for late February.



U.S. media must apply by 4 p.m. Monday, Feb. 7, and international media without
U.S. citizenship must apply by 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 31. A copy of NASA’s media
accreditation policy is online.



Submit all accreditation requests online at:



https://media.ksc.nasa.gov



The agency continues to monitor developments related to the coronavirus
pandemic, and Kennedy will grant access to only a limited number of media to
protect the health and safety of media and employees. Due to COVID-19 safety
restrictions at Kennedy, international media coming from overseas must follow
quarantine requirements.



NASA will follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
and the agency’s chief health and medical officer and will immediately
communicate any updates that may affect media access for this launch.



For questions about media accreditation, email:
ksc-media-accreditat@mail.nasa.gov. For other questions, contact Kennedy’s
newsroom at: 321-867-2468.



Media who would like to bring large vehicles (satellite trucks, microwave
trucks, etc.) or any manner of infrastructure (scaffolding, stages, etc.) must
notify the Kennedy media team by filling out a forthcoming survey. The survey
will be distributed to media once the accreditation window for this launch has
closed.



All parties requesting to bring stages, scaffolding, or raised platforms will be
required to submit plans, including access limitations/controls,
height/width/length, configuration, capacity, and load ratings of the elevated
structure and any training, inspection, or other pertinent requirements.



All plans will be reviewed for placement, height, and platform construction as
related to all Occupational Safety and Health Administration and NASA
requirements. If accepted by NASA safety officials, the requesting party will be
notified to move forward. All plans will be sited appropriately, and exact
requests are not guaranteed.



Each accepted structure will be tagged at the event site and all non-accepted
structures will be removed or placed off limits. Each accepted structure also is
subject to daily inspection and required to maintain OSHA and Kennedy
requirements.



All large vehicles and stage/scaffolding structures will be assigned physical
locations at the discretion of the Kennedy media team.
