To his right is Mark Nappi, Boeing integrated product team leader for Space Launch System (SLS) core stage 1. While inside the VAB, Nelson had the opportunity to view the SLS rocket as preparations for the Artemis I launch continue. The first in an increasingly complex set of missions, Artemis I will test SLS and Orion as an integrated system prior to crewed flights to the Moon. Through Artemis, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, as well as establish a sustainable presence on and around the Moon.
