In this view, Exploration Ground Systems’ mobile launcher’s crew access arm (CAA) can be seen. The CAA will interface with the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket at the Orion crew hatch, providing entry and exit from the Orion crew module. The first crewed flight aboard Orion will be Artemis 2, after the uncrewed Artemis 1 launch verifies SLS and Orion as an integrated system.
