Big Build: Watch Assembly of Giant Core Stage for SLS Moon Rocket | NASA

NASA and industry partners are preparing to deliver the core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket for Artemis II, the first crewed Artemis mission, from NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans to Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The massive hardware stands 212 feet tall and serves as the powerhouse behind the agency’s powerful rocket. The stage is fully produced at NASA Michoud where technicians with NASA and core stage lead contractor Boeing thoroughly assessed and prepared the hardware before loading it onto NASA’s Pegasus barge for delivery to the Space Coast.
