Lockheed Martin: Orion Spacecraft Completes Major Stacking Milestone Ahead of Artemis II Mission
The Orion Integrity spacecraft has been connected with the SLS rocket, readying for a historic crewed journey to the Moon.
NASA's Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) team recently joined and connected the Lockheed Martin-developed Orion spacecraft with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket for the upcoming Artemis II mission.
The Orion spacecraft, named Integrity by its astronaut crew, was transported to the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center where it was lifted atop the SLS rocket in High Bay 3.
This marks a major milestone for the Artemis II mission as NASA and industry work toward a historic launch to the Moon with four astronauts early next year.
