NASA Artemis II Moon Rocket Core Stage Moves to High Bay 2 at Kennedy

The 212-foot-tall Space Launch System (SLS) core stage for NASA Artemis II is seen being moved from a horizontal position to a vertical position in High Bay 2 at the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. With the move to High Bay 2, NASA and Boeing technicians now have 360-degree access to the core stage internally and externally.

Artemis II will launch no earlier than April 2026.
