B-Roll: NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility assemble main structures of NASA’s Space Launch System Rocket’s Core stage

This video shows how teams at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans fully assembled the main structures of NASA’s Space Launch System rocket’s core stage 212-foot-tall core stage. With two giant tanks holding a combined 733,000 gallons of propellant and four RS-25 engines, the core stage is the powerhouse of the rocket. Technicians attached the five structures in three phases, or joins, before individually adding each of the four RS-25 engines to the stage. Once the stage passes final check-outs, NASA’s Pegasus barge will ferry it to NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, for the Green Run test series.
