Watch NASA Teams Move, Prep Artemis II Moon Rocket Stage for Shipment

Teams at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans are preparing the core stage of the agency’s SLS (Space Launch System) for shipment to the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 212-foot-tall core stage and its four RS-25 engines will help power Artemis II, the first crewed mission of NASA’s Artemis campaign. In this video, watch as crew remove the external access stands, or scaffolding, before moving the rocket hardware to another area of the facility.
