Work continues on mobile launcher 2 ahead of the
@NASAArtemis
IV mission 🏗️ Teams at
@NASAKennedy
are preparing for their next milestone called jack and set. This operation will lift the launcher base to temporary mount mechanisms where it will be picked up by crawler transporter…
While every Block 1B configuration of the SLS rocket will use a payload adapter beginning with
@NASAArtemis
IV, each will be customized to fit the mission’s needs.

Another year of
#NASAHERC
has crossed the finish line! 🏁
As we recap the 30th annual
#RoverChallenge
, we want to thank you for following along this weekend and supporting this
#ArtemisGeneration
of future scientists, engineers, and explorers. We hope to see you back next year!
SLS has arrived in the Northeast!
Over the next few days, our team will visit some of the small businesses that play a huge role in the
@NASAArtemis
campaign as they continue to work toward future crewed missions.

Preparation is 🔑
The
@NASAGroundSys
team is preparing for a series of ground demonstration tests at
@NASAKennedy
for the
#Artemis
II mission.
These tests are vital for engineers to ensure that the ground equipment is ready to support launch.
