Artemis_SLS_Animation with NASA Logotype pan camF10B_Final

This animation shows NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket on the Mobile Launcher at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the Artemis I mission. The super heavy-lift rocket will power NASA’s next-generation Moon missions through the agency’s Artemis program. NASA’s iconic Logotype “Worm” logo is depicted on the side of each of the SLS rocket’s solid rocket boosters. The letters are 8.3 feet tall with the entire worm logo stretching 28.7 feet from end to end on the boosters, which are taller than the Statue of Liberty. The simple, red logo was first introduced to the public in 1975. The original NASA insignia — nicknamed “the meatball” — rides to space on the top of the SLS rocket. The worm marking also appears on the Orion spacecraft riding atop the SLS rocket.
