He said delays on such a big project are nothing out of the ordinary. However, he understands delays may happen as the project launch has seen several delays in the past few months, as simulators and engineers continue working on the project itself. He said NASA just did the first dress rehearsal launch a few days ago and everything went as scheduled, so everything is pointing to the actual launch occurring on that day. Ramirez says the first launch is scheduled approximately for the end of August.

The simulator will do the runs and have a better idea of whether they can safely launch or not. He said the launch day of the Artemis mission carrying Campos’ moonikin, the simulator will help measure day-of-launch activities like the measurement of the wind and the temperature and the environment of that day. “In the last few years, I have been working on a new simulator called Compass, and it's a joint venture.” They did that for a long time until the end of the shuttle program really,” Ramirez said. “They are not the type of simulators in which the astronauts sit in the training or anything like that, but they are used to design the trajectory of the shuttle depending on how heavy the payload was going to be, what day they are going on and that type of thing. He is currently working with the Compass simulator, which is expected to become the main type of simulator used in subsequent Artemis missions as well.

Ramirez’s work on the Artemis Program focuses on the software engineer simulator element where they formulate models of how a flight will go and what factors can affect it. He is currently working on the Artemis I Project, which will help honor NASA legend Arturo Campos - whose moonikin will be flying to the moon in the Artemis Project - who helped save the crew of Apollo 13.
