NASA’s powerful Space Launch System rocket and NASA’s Orion spacecraft are making progress to the pad. Over the course of their development, the rocket and spacecraft have moved from design and manufacturing to testing and assembly and integration. Some of the hardware has even been delivered to the launch pad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Along with the Gateway in lunar orbit and a new human landing system, SLS and Orion create the backbone for the agency’s Artemis missions to the Moon that will land astronauts on the lunar surface by 2024 From the top to the bottom, you can take a look at the completed flight hardware for SLS and Orion for the first flight, Artemis I, in this latest video.
