Technicians lift the engine section for NASA’s Artemis IV SLS (Space Launch System) rocket ahead of further processing inside the high bay of the Space Systems Processing Facility at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, Oct. 21, 2024. The engine section is one of five major elements that makes up the SLS rocket’s 212-foot-tall core stage, which house the rocket’s four RS-25 engines and vital systems for mounting, controlling, and delivering fuel from the stage’s two massive liquid propellant tanks to the engines.

Technicians assist a crane to lower a pair of International Space Station Roll Out Solar Arrays (iROSA) onto a platform on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2026, inside the Space Systems Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The iROSA are being prepared for delivery to the space station aboard SpaceX’s Dragon cargo carrier on the company’s 35th commercial resupply services (CRS-35) mission to the space station. iROSA is a new generation of solar arrays that roll open in space and is more compact than previous arrays while providing the same amount of power. With six similar arrays already in place on the station, the final pair will complete the power system upgrade for the orbiting laboratory.

Young women, ages 11 to 18, from the Atlanta, Georgia area, with interests in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), pose for a photo on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA Kennedy hosted the Delta Air Lines’ Women Inspiring Our Next Generation (WING) flight to showcase various women-led STEM careers available at the Florida spaceport.
