NASA's Artemis program continues to make excellent progress toward landing the first woman and next man on the Moon. Recent work on the Artemis I Space Launch System included testing the Flight Support Booster in Promontory, Utah, core stage Green Run gimbal testing at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems team practiced stacking the solid rocket booster and the Launch Control Center completed cryo simulation. Artemis I Orion Program progress included the Orion spacecraft adapter cone install at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and solar array wing deployment and inspection.

For the Artemis III mission, Orion pressure vessel parts arrived for welding at Michoud Assembly Facility in Louisiana. Additionally, progress continued on the European Service Module 3 with Thales Alenia Space, Italy delivering the primary structure to Airbus Space in Germany, and Artemis spacesuit tools and training tests took place at Johnson Space Center.

We’re charting the course for sustainable human space exploration and persevering on our journey deeper into the cosmos!
