Abstract

REGULARSLoaded onto NASA’s Crawler-Transporter 2, the Artemis II Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft are en route to the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This short but slow journey was to address the problematic flow of helium to the rocket’s upper stage before the rocket was returned to Launch Complex 39B for its next test flight, where astronauts will complete an orbit of the Moon and return to Earth.
