Artemis IV Engine Section in the VAB Transfer Aisle

Teams at Kennedy Space Center in Florida transported the fourth core stage engine section from the spaceport’s Space Systems Processing Facility to the Vehicle Assembly Building in August 2025. The flight hardware will remain in the facility’s transfer aisle until teams lift the section into High Bay 2 for assembly and integration with the remaining core stage elements. Artemis will pave the way for a long-term human presence on the lunar surface while ushering the Golden Age of Innovation and Exploration.
