NASA Worm Logo Painting on Artemis II Booster

Workers with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems and primary contractor, Jacobs, complete the painting of the agency’s iconic “worm” logo along the side of the twin Artemis II solid rocket booster motor segments inside the Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday, Feb. 16, 2024. Using a laser projector, the logo was mapped out with tape by workers with Jacobs, for the spaceport, before using two coats of red paint, plus several coats of clear primer to complete the logo that stretches 25 feet long. The booster segments will help propel the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket on the Artemis II mission to send four astronauts around the Moon as part of the agency’s effort to establish a long-term science and exploration presence at the Moon, and eventually Mars.
