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.

From left to right, Cliff Lanham, senior vehicle operations manager, Exploration Ground Systems; Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, Artemis launch director, Exploration Ground Systems; and Shawn Quinn, manager, Exploration Ground Systems, prepare to raise the Artemis flag near the countdown clock at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, July 22, 2024. The flag raising marks the arrival of NASA’s massive SLS (Space Launch System) core stage via the agency’s Pegasus barge from NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. The core stage will help power SLS when it launches four astronauts around the Moon for the first crewed flight of SLS and the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis II test flight.

NASA engineers load a structural test version of the Orion Stage Adapter for NASA's Space Launch System onto NASA’s Super Guppy Aircraft at the Redstone Arsenal Airfield in Huntsville, Alabama, for delivery to Lockheed Martin in Denver. The OSA connects NASA's Orion spacecraft to the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion System, which will give the spacecraft its big, in-space boost to fly around the moon in its first integrated flight with SLS. Built at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, the OSA was used in integrated structural testing for the top of the SLS rocket and will be used in similar testing with Orion at Lockheed. The Guppy has a cargo compartment that is 25 feet tall, 25 feet wide and 111 feet long and can carry up to 24 tons. The aircraft has a unique hinged nose that can open 110 degrees, allowing large pieces of cargo to be loaded and unloaded from the front.
