Many of the manufactured products being used for the Artemis missions were shipped to Sey Tec, which has a team handling paperwork and inspections for parts.From there, the parts are housed as inventory in the North Richland Hills warehouse to support various programs.
“They’ll pull the parts directly off the shelves. Bag them, tag them with a label. Then the parts will come back out,” West said.“I’ll have my phone. I’ll have my laptop and hopefully, there will be some TV news coverage. So, I plan to have three screens all at the same time,” Ruffin said. Ruffin serves as president of the National Space Society of North Texas. In August, he traveled to Florida to watch the launch before it was scrubbed.
“When there are delays like that, it’s not the perfect situation. But it’s better for there to be a delay than there is to be something negative,” he said. “The Artemis program is really much bigger than what most people probably realize.” A successful launch for Artemis I will be a key milestone in the mission, with NASA’s future plans of putting crew members on the rocket and launching them to orbit the moon as part of Artemis II in 2024. The goal is to put crew members onto the surface of the moon in 2025, according to NASA.
