Delivery of NASA's Most Powerful Moon Rocket: Artemis I

NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft will soon launch from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for its flight test, Artemis I. However, the rocket did not arrive at the Cape fully assembled. Major parts of the rocket were built in locations across America. More than 1,000 companies in 45 states supplied parts and components for America’s Moon rocket. Custom barges, cargo planes, and trains then delivered the large parts of the Moon rocket to Kennedy. Watch to learn more about how NASA delivered the individual pieces of SLS to assemble them at KSC and form the SLS rocket that will send Orion to the Moon on the historic Artemis I mission.
