Artemis II Center Stage Reaches Kennedy

.Crews transport NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) center stage in to the Lorry Setting Up Structure at the agency's Kennedy Space Facility in Florida on July 24, 2024. Tugboats and lugging crafts moved the Pegasus barge and 212-foot-long core stage 900-miles to the Fla spaceport from NASA's Michoud Setting up Resource in New Orleans, where it was created as well as assembled.In the coming months, teams will definitely combine the spacecraft center phase atop the mobile phone launcher with the added Artemis II trip hardware, featuring the double strong rocket boosters, launch auto stage adapter, and the Orion spacecraft.The Artemis II exam tour will definitely be actually NASA's initial goal with staff under the Artemis campaign, sending NASA astronauts Winner Glover, Christina Koch, and also Reid Wiseman, as well as CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on a 10-day experience around the Moon as well as back.Adhere to the following action in this trip on NASA's Artemis weblog.Text debt: Jason Costa.Graphic credit history: NASA/Kim Shiflett.
