WATCH: Cameras on NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft give us amazing views of our adventure around the Moon. See up-close views of the Moon from external cameras and the view from inside the capsule. […]
Engineers at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida are in the process of preparing the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft for the next launch attempt in November for the Artemis I mission. Since resuming work after Hurricane Ian, teams have extended work platforms around SLS and Orion to assess the exterior and access internal components. Exterior inspections will note any foam or cork from the thermal protection system on the rocket or spacecraft that might need to be repaired. […]
WATCH: NASA’s Space Launch System moon rocket, aboard the crawler-transporter, headed out of the Vehicle Assembly Building Tuesday night at the Kennedy Space Center for the 4-mile overnight trip to Launch Pad 39B, for the maiden flight of the Orion spacecraft on a voyage around the moon. The launch is targeted for August 29. The launch window opens at 8:33 a.m. ET. […]
Technicians are preparing to connect two major parts of the Space Launch System rocket’s Artemis II core stage. […]
When astronauts journey to the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket beginning with the Artemis II mission, they will travel by more traditional ground transport as they head to the launch pad to board their spacecraft. […]
NASA has taken the next steps toward building Space Launch System (SLS) solid rocket boosters to support as many as six additional flights, for a total of up to nine Artemis missions. […]
NASA’s most powerful rocket may be suspended, but progress continues virtually on the Boeing-built Space Launch System (SLS) core stage. […]
When the core stage for NASA’s massive Space Launch System (SLS) rocket departs the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, it will be shipped by barge to the Launch Complex 39 turn basin wharf at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to be integrated with other hardware in preparation for its first launch, known as Exploration Mission-1. […]
The first flight of NASA’s new rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), will carry 13 CubeSats to test innovative ideas along with an uncrewed Orion spacecraft in 2018.
