NASA Administrator, Jim Bridenstine, Views Artemis Booster Proce

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine (center), accompanied by Jacobs employees, views Artemis I booster hardware inside the Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 27, 2020. Manufactured by Northrop Grumman in Utah, the boosters for the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket are now undergoing prelaunch processing at Kennedy. During launch, the twin boosters will provide more than 75 percent of the total SLS thrust. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will test the Orion spacecraft and SLS as an integrated system ahead of crewed flights to the Moon.
