Artemis II Stacking - Left Center Center Prepped for Lift - SLS

Inside High Bay 3 of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians with the agency’s Exploration Ground Systems use a crane to lower the right forward center booster segment for the NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket onto the right center center segment with the iconic NASA “worm” insignia atop the mobile launcher on Monday, Jan. 27, 2025. 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.
