Summary

edit
Description
English: One of two Artemis II aft skirts for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket’s twin solid rocket boosters crosses railroad tracks on its way from the Booster Fabrication Facility to the Rotation Processing and Surge Facility (RPSF) at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, Sept. 25, 2023. The aft skirts were refurbished by Northrop Grumman and house the thrust vector control system, which controls 70 percent of the steering during initial ascent of the SLS rocket. The segments will remain in the RPSF until ready for stacking with the forward and aft parts of the boosters on the mobile launcher in High Bay 3 of the Vehicle Assembly Building. Artemis II astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen will launch from Kennedy, traveling around the Moon on the first crewed mission under Artemis that will test all of the Orion spacecraft’s systems.
