Big moves at NASA's Kennedy Space Center! Recently, technicians with NASA's Exploration Ground Systems lifted the fully assembled SLS core stage 225 feet in the air inside the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building and integrated it with the twin solid rocket boosters for #Artemis II. Learn more about what comes next

Now up, mod 7! ⬆️ Tuesday, teams at NASA's Kennedy Space Center stacked tower module 7 on mobile launcher 2. This module, or mod, holds the Payload Accommodation System that will interface with NASA_SLS and Orion Spacecraft, allowing Exploration Ground Systems teams in the Launch Control Center to

The Orion Spacecraft Spacecraft is now in the hands of Exploration Ground Systems! Our teams will transport, fuel, and stack the spacecraft, which will carry and sustain the NASA Artemis II crew to around the Moon and return them safely to Earth.

After a short trip down the block, Exploration Ground Systems teams arrived at the Multi-Payload Processing Facility with the NASA Artemis II Orion Spacecraft spacecraft. Here, teams will continue readying the spacecraft ahead of stacking on NASA_SLS in the Vehicle Assembly Building

Last week, teams completed stacking the interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS) atop NASA_SLS for the NASA Artemis II mission. The ICPS is an in-space rocket stage that provides propulsion to Orion Spacecraft during the first three Artemis missions. Read more about the upper stage

Teams transported Orion Spacecraft out of the Operations and Checkout building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center using the Spacecraft Transporter (SCT). This approximately 16-by-16-foot spacecraft is where our NASA Artemis II crew will live and work on their journey around the Moon.

Hitting the road 🚙🗺️ Last weekend, teams transported Orion Spacecraft to the Multi-Payload Processing Facility, where they will begin fueling the crew and service modules. After fueling, teams will install the launch abort system on Orion at the Launch Abort System Facility before

A jam-packed week for the Artemis II crew — paying homage to the Apollo 1 crew, going through emergency egress exercises, and checking out the Orion Spacecraft spacecraft ahead of fueling in the Multi-Payload Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

The NASA Artemis II crew visited NASA's Kennedy Space Center this week! With teams from NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems, they participated in Emergency Egress System training at Launch Complex 39B and the Vehicle Assembly Building, walked through the crew access arm of mobile launcher 1,

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the flame trench 🔥 The flame deflector at NASA's Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39B will redirect the exhaust and intense heat of NASA_SLS northward at liftoff, experiencing a peak heat of 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Teams with Exploration Ground

🔌Powered up!⚡ Last week, Exploration Ground Systems teams powered up the NASA Artemis II NASA_SLS core stage and solid rocket boosters for the first time. Teams in NASA's Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Control Center verified the systems and interfaces function between the flight hardware

Power up 🔋✅ Technicians recently powered on the NASA Artemis III Orion crew module. This initial power on marked the startup of the crew module’s computers, power and data units, which are responsible for commanding vehicle subsystems. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4kd02RT

Teams with NASA's Exploration Ground Systems are preparing Artemis II with a series of integrated testing on the NASA_SLS rocket. Engineers have started the test campaign to confirm rocket and ground systems are working and communicating as planned. Follow along: go.nasa.gov/43rMHxW

Pumped up! ⛽ Teams with Exploration Ground Systems ready Orion Spacecraft for stacking atop the Artemis II NASA_SLS rocket by fueling the service module, provided by European Space Agency. To complete this operation, teams stationed in the Launch Control Center oversee and direct fueling

In 2007, Liliana Villarreal joined NASA. Now, she's the Artemis Landing and Recovery Director. “I think it’s an amazing thing what we’re doing for humanity. It’s going to better humanity, and it’s a steppingstone to eventually us living in other worlds. And I get to be part

Power up complete! Teams powered up the NASA Artemis SLS rocket core stage and solid rocket boosters inside the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building for the first time last week. The test verified the interfaces across the core stage, boosters and ground systems function properly.

Important update: In the coming weeks, NASA's Exploration Ground Systems X account will be archived. To consolidate our social media presence, we will soon post updates about building, launching, and recovering Artemis missions via NASA's Kennedy Space Center and NASA Artemis.
