Secured atop a transport vehicle, Orion moves along the route to the Multi-Payload Processing Facility (MPPF) on Jan. 16, 2021, after departing from the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Jason Parrish, a mechanical technician, Crawler Transporter Systems, with Jacobs, is one of the workers assisting with the move. Inside the MPPF, Orion will undergo processing with the Exploration Ground Systems team taking over ground processing ahead of the Artemis I launch.

Orion arrives at its next stop along its path to the pad ahead of the Artemis I launch on Jan. 16, 2021, at Kennedy Space Center’s Multi-Payload Processing Facility, where the Exploration Ground Systems and Jacobs teams will take over ground processing. Here, the spacecraft will be “”gassed up” and fueled with commodities as part of preparations ahead of the mission.
