Artemis II Booster Processing - Segment Cover Removal and Inspec

Engineers and technicians process the right forward center segment of the Space Launch System solid rocket boosters for the Artemis II mission inside the Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility (RPSF) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida by removing the yellow cap and inspecting propellant on Monday, Nov. 27, 2023. Since arriving via rail in September, the team has been examining each segment one-by-one to make sure they are ready for integration and launch before being moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building for stacking atop the mobile launcher. Artemis II astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen will blast off from Kennedy and travel around the moon for the agency’s first crewed mission under Artemis that will test all of the Orion spacecraft’s systems.
