NASA’s Next Rocket Ready for Lift Off
The Ares I-X was rolled out to the launch pad in preparation for its historical test flight next week.
It was a historic moment Tuesday when the Ares I-X, a test rocket for NASA’s next launch vehicle, was rolled out to the launch pad--a crawl that lasted almost seven hours. The event marks the first time in 30 years that a new type of launch vehicle has been moved to the pad. Ares I-X is scheduled to lift off on October 27.
