Engineers and technicians with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems Program complete stacking of the first Moon rocket segments – the left and right aft assemblies for the agency’s Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) solid rocket boosters – onto mobile launcher 1 inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center on Friday, Nov. 22, 2024. The first two of 10 booster segments to be stacked, the boosters will help support the remaining rocket components and the Orion spacecraft during final assembly of the Artemis II Moon rocket and provide more than 75 percent of the total SLS thrust during liftoff from NASA Kennedy’s Launch Pad 39B.
