Lockheed Martin: Orion Spacecraft Completes Major Stacking Milestone Ahead of Artemis II Mission
The Orion Integrity spacecraft has successfully connected with the SLS rocket, marking a significant milestone in preparation for the historic crewed journey to the Moon.
NASA's Exploration Ground Systems team joined and connected the Lockheed Martin-developed Orion spacecraft with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket for the upcoming Artemis II mission at the Kennedy Space Center.
The Orion spacecraft, named Integrity by its astronaut crew, was transported to the Vehicle Assembly Building and 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.
