Artemis I Orion LAS Integration - LAS on KMAG Prepped for Transp

Inside the Launch Abort System Facility (LASF) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the fully assembled Orion spacecraft for the agency’s Artemis I mission is prepared for transport on Oct. 18, 2021. In the early morning hours of Oct. 19, Orion was moved from the LASF into the Vehicle Assembly Building, where teams with the agency’s Exploration Ground Systems and contractor Jacobs will lift and lower the spacecraft on top of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket to complete assembly of NASA’s Moon rocket. The first in an increasingly complex set of missions, Artemis I will be an integrated flight test for Orion and SLS ahead of crewed flights to the Moon.
