Artemis Launch Sound Experience - Listen to NASA's SLS Rocket Roar with mics placed inside the pad

Experience the sounds of NASA's Artemis 1 rocket launch and see what it’s like to witness the first SLS liftoff up close! Grab some headphones, it really makes a difference.

We've collected our favorite audio moments from our cameras and microphones positioned around NASA Kennedy Space Center, including one remote recording setup only 390 meters from the launch tower!

Listen to the pop and roar as two solid rocket boosters lift SLS off the pad and cheer along with the crowds as night turns to day and we launch to the Moon!

Having the crowd there and hearing them completely drowned out by the sound helps calibrate the brain as to how unbelievably loud it must have been. Beautifully done folks!!!

[DNagy]

it is officially on my bucket list to see a rocket launch in person.

[FreeSpirit]

My daughter is on the team of engineers who designed Artemis. Yep. I'm *SO PROUD*

[Shabaka]

Don't know if anyone cares. But I've been depressed and this made my anxiety stop for a few minutes. Beautiful

[joer]

I cannot understand why this has made me so emotional. I'm actually weeping seeing Artemis pierce the sky and return to the moon. It's beautiful.

[ridersbattle]

This is just magical. As European, I hope one day I would be able to cross the ocean to see that just one time in my life. Thank you for the sound quality, my gf and I were just jaw dropped when the sound came.

[definitix]

I was literally JAW DROPPED at liftoff as the night turned to day at the press site. I hope to be at the Cape for future big launches like this one. One day...

[DeepCreekTV]

Thank you, this made me cry 😢
My late son was an avid fan of space exploration....
I'm sure he watched and listened from the stars. ✨

"Booster ignishishn." the guy was so hyped he made history.

[danieljohn]

This is the video I play on my home theatre when my upstairs neighbours are being loud. 10/10.

[OneCupOfCoffee]

Seriously, that sound is one of a kind.
It's something everyone should experience.
I can't imagine what it must be like to be there.
Wow!

[OliverTheSpaceNerd]

This is better than any documentary that I’ve ever seen!! Your cameras and mics are insane!! Thank you guys!!

[francisjtuk]

There's something quite emotional about hearing such an earth shatteringly loud roar from a man made object. Absolutely incredible stuff

[echo]

The sound on Atmos surround sound was unreal. The sound washes over you, slowly at first until it’s all you can hear. Amazingly well mic’d - great job!!

[Redman]

Watching this launch over and over again. I tear up every single time. I used to watch all of the SpaceX launches with my mother and father, but it just doesn't feel the same without mom being here to watch them with me, cheer as loud as me, marvel at human engineering, and love of the beyond.

[mountainman]

Those solid rocket boosters are just scary in their power and sound. Imo, probably my favorite rocket just by themselves. Art in motion.

[mycroft]

That 2nd to last shot was phenomenal. Right up close. You could see the acoustic waves just blasting through the area, and then all the smoke and steam filling in. That's some serious raw power. I've also never seen a rocket leap off the pad quite like this. It wanted to fly.

[AnExPor]

I love the car alarms going off in the background of some of the shots.

[JackieOdonnel]

I'm in awe just watching this with headphones on. Being there in person someday is on top of my bucket list.

[mikloslipcsey]

I had the great privilege of witnessing the Space Shuttle lift off in 1998. It was truly an unforgettable experience! I cannot imagine how this lift off was like from the various vantage points. Congratulations in putting this spectacular record together.
