NASA and its partners across the country are continuing to make progress on the crewed Artemis missions with hardware for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rockets for Artemis II, III, and IV already in various phases of production, assembly, and testing. SLS proved to be the world’s most powerful
to Kennedy in December 2022. In tandem, teams at Michoud are continuing all core stage manufacturing and production activities for the five major elements of the core stage for Artemis III and IV.
“Michoud is humming with activity as teams work on multiple SLS core stages for three different Artemis missions as well as the initial welds for the Exploration Upper Stage for the fourth SLS flight,” said Lonnie Dutreix, director of NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility. “Everywhere you look, you see rocket hardware that will power missions to send the first woman and the first person of color to the Moon.”near Bay St.
Engineers at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, are in the process of configuring the Systems Integration Laboratory to the flight software and avionics configuration to support Artemis II flight software development. The flight software, which acts as the “brains” of the Space Launch System rocket and controls it in flight, is set to begin testing this year.
Both the SLS adapters – the cone-shaped launch vehicle stage adapter and the Orion stage adapter – are fully built and produced at Marshall. The adapters serve as vital connection points on the SLS rocket. With the Artemis II LVSA complete, teams are focusing efforts on the LVSA for Artemis III. The OSAs for Artemis II and III have completed painting and are being readied for final hardware installation.
