The launcher is getting into place for the launch of the first Artemis mission, which was originally scheduled for Thursday.
The launch was delayed until July 9 due to a battery issue.
The Artemis 1 rocket will launch an unmanned Orion spacecraft into orbit for a journey around the moon.
"This is the next big step ... ready to support SLA and Orion," said Cliff Lanham, NASA mobile launcher project manager.
