The core stage for NASA's first Artemis mission to the Moon moved to the agency’s Pegasus barge on Jan. 8, 2020. The 212-foot Space Launch System rocket stage, built by NASA and lead contractor Boeing at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility, rolled the onto Pegasus, which shipped it to NASA's Stennis Space Center on Jan. 12. Here, it will undergo a comprehensive series of engineering tests called the Green Run. After Green Run is complete, the core stage will be sent to NASA's Kennedy Space Center, where it will join with SLS's giant boosters and the Orion spacecraft to launch into space on Artemis I.

Members of the media visited the International Space Station Processing Facility "high bay" on August 11, 2017 to view the Space Launch System's Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS). Representative from NASA and Boeing were on hand to answer questions.
The Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) is the first segment for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket to arrive at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida and is currently in the Space Station Processing Facility. The ICPS will be located at the very top of the SLS, just below the Orion capsule. During Exploration Mission-1, NASA's first test mission of the SLS rocket and Orion, the ICPS, filled with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, will give Orion the big in-space push needed to fly beyond the Moon before returning to Earth. The ICPS was designed and built by ULA in Decatur, Alabama, and Boeing in Huntsville, Alabama.

Behind the iconic countdown clock at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the agency’s Pegasus barge completes its 900-mile journey from NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans carrying the powerful SLS (Space Launch System) core stage on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. Teams with Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) will offload the rocket stage and transfer it to the spaceport’s Vehicle Assembly Building to prepare it for integration atop the mobile launcher ahead of the Artemis II launch.

In this view looking up inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 10, 2022, the work platforms are being retracted from around the Artemis I Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft in preparation to roll out to launch pad 39B. The Kennedy ground systems team is working to remove equipment and scaffolding away from the rocket and will continue retracting the platforms until the entire rocket is revealed ahead of the wet dress rehearsal test, which is scheduled to occur approximately two weeks after it arrives at the pad.

I am a team lead for Integration and Test of Vehicle Avionics and Software at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Our branch is responsible for building and operating the Systems Integrated Test Facility, where avionics are configured and tested for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS). When completed, SLS will be the most powerful launch vehicle to take us on deep-space missions.
My primary responsibility was to get the Systems Integrated Test Facility assembled for SLS core stage First Light, a major milestone in getting the avionics system powered up and ready for testing. I have helped piece together the infrastructure, with the avionics components in flight configuration. The Systems Integration Test Facility is the first step in proving that all of the avionics boxes, in conjunction with all of the cabling and software, will actually control the SLS vehicle with no anomalous behavior.
My interest in testing hardware began when I took a job with the Naval Surface Weapons Center in Washington. I started working for NASA in 1984 running the thermal vacuum test chambers. I've held several positions since then doing different types of testing, including on payloads. When the opportunity presented itself to build the SLS avionics test facilities, I took it. I love the work I do.
My advice to students would be to find a career that you look forward to going to in the morning, and hate leaving in the evening. I saw a quote from one of the scientists when I was working for the U.S. Navy: "If they didn’t pay me to do this job…I’d pay them." For most of my career, I have felt that way about my job. It makes every aspect of your life better when you love what you do. And whatever you do, always do it to the best of your ability.

The last time humans flew to the Moon was December, 1972 - 53 years ago. This (Saturday) morning, NASA took one step closer to reseting that clock.
At 7am (ET), the Mobile Launcher emerged from the the VAB and the Artemis II SLS and Orion spacecraft began the trip to LC-39B.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman was on hand to introduce the Artemis II crew, Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen, heroes all.
These are some seriously cool astronauts, all well-prepared and looking forward to an incredible journey to the Moon.
One postscript: Administrator Isaacman did a great job at the podium, keeping the focus on the astronauts and the thousands of people supporting the mission; and the astronauts seem to genuinely respect him and his spaceflight experience.

The mobile launcher (ML) is reflected in the sunglasses of a construction worker with JP Donovan at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A crane is lifting the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage Umbilical (ICPSU) up for installation on the tower of the ML. The last of the large umbilicals to be installed, the ICPSU will provide super-cooled hydrogen and liquid oxygen to the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket's interim cryogenic propulsion stage, or upper stage, at T-0 for Exploration Mission-1. The umbilical is located at about the 240-foot-level of the mobile launcher and will supply fuel, oxidizer, gaseous helium, hazardous gas leak detection, electrical commodities and environment control systems to the upper stage of the SLS rocket during launch. Exploration Ground Systems is overseeing installation of the umbilicals on the ML. Photo credit: NASA/Ben Smegelsky
