.Crews transfer NASA's SLS (Space Introduce System) center stage in to the Car Assembly Structure at the firm's Kennedy Area Center in Fla on July 24, 2024. Tugboats and lugging crafts relocated the Pegasus burst and 212-foot-long primary stage 900-miles to the Fla spaceport from NASA's Michoud Assembly Resource in New Orleans, where it was actually made as well as put together.In the coming months, crews will combine the rocket core phase atop the mobile launcher with the additional Artemis II air travel hardware, consisting of the double solid spacecraft enhancers, launch vehicle stage adapter, as well as the Orion space capsule.The Artemis II exam tour are going to be NASA's initial goal with workers under the Artemis initiative, sending NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Christina Koch, as well as Reid Wiseman, along with CSA (Canadian Space Agency) rocketeer Jeremy Hansen, on a 10-day adventure around the Moon and back.Follow the next steps in this quest on NASA's Artemis blog post.Text credit score: Jason Costa.Image credit report: NASA/Kim Shiflett.
