Teams at NASA Michoud Assembly Facility are building the core stage of NASA’s Space Launch System rocket for #Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the Moon in NASA’s Artemis program. The SLS rocket’s 212-foot-tall core stage provides more than 2 million pounds of thrust to help send astronauts aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft around the Moon. Because each of the five structures that make up the core stage are so large, the elements are built separately then connected together to form one stage. This video shows completed work Michoud teams have made since January 2020.
