Engineers and technicians with NASA's Exploration Ground Systems Program transfer the right forward center segment to the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The booster segment is shown attached to a lifting beam on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2025 ahead of integration onto the Mobile Launcher 1. The boosters will help support the remaining rocket components and the Orion spacecraft during final assembly of the Artems II Moon rocket and provide more than 75 percent of the total SLS (Space Launch System) thrust during liftoff from NASA Kennedy's Launch Pad 39B.
