The final assembly of the second Core Stage is underway as work expands to cover the production of multiple Core Stages and Exploration Upper Stages (EUS) for the SLS Block 1B vehicle. SLS and Boeing started a long-term factory optimi...

SLS Core Stage thermal protection system refurbishment in work at Kennedy for Artemis 1 May 20, 2021 NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) and Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) programs are working with Core Stage prime contractor Boeing and prime test operations and support contractor Jacobs to finish repairs to thermal protection system (TPS) spray-on foam insulation on the Artemis 1 Core Stage at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The TPS foam, cork, and foil performed well during the final, c...

Will be visible from the launchpad ... when it finally gets there Richard Speed Fri 14 May 2021 // 12:39 UTC Share Copy NASA has slapped its worm logo on the side of the Crew Module Adaptor (CMA) for the Orion spacecraft as the first Artemis mission to the Moon inches closer. The logo had already been stuck on the underside of the CMA last year, but sticking it on the side will ensure it is visible once the Orion spacecraft and its European-built service module are stack...

SLS Core Stage Green Run validates propulsion system performance and modeling May 11, 2021 Engineers with NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) program and prime Core Stage contractor Boeing continue to review terabytes of data from the now-complete, once-in-a-generation Green Run design verification test campaign. A series of eight test cases were completed, culminating in a 500-second long, full-duration static firing of the stage in the B-2 Test Stand at Stennis. The Core Stage was the major ne...

NASA EGS, Jacobs preparing SLS Core Stage for Artemis 1 stacking May 6, 2021 The Core Stage of NASA’s first Space Launch System (SLS) vehicle arrived at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and was moved into the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) on April 29. The stage is now in the hands of KSC’s Exploration Ground System (EGS) program and prime test operations and support contractor (TOSC) Jacobs. The long-awaited milestone allows EGS and Jacobs to work towards putting the whole Orion/SLS vehicle...

Ten month schedule to ready SLS for Artemis 1 launch after Core Stage arrives at KSC May 3, 2021 NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) program is looking at a wide range of forecasts for when they can complete testing necessary to be ready to launch Artemis 1. The Core Stage of NASA’s first Space Launch System (SLS) vehicle arrived at the Kennedy Space Center and was moved into the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) on April 29 to prep for stacking with the new launch vehicle’s Solid Rocke...

autoevolution 26 Apr 2021, 14:11 UTC · by Before long, the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket will launch towards the Moon carrying the Orion capsule. It will probably happen by the end of the year, when the Artemis I mission will take off with no crew on board heading for Earth’s satellite in a dry run that is supposed to validate all the systems astronauts will need. 5 photos An indicator we’re fast approaching the launch date is that NASA began moving the first core stage of the SLS...
