Final Piece of Rocket Hardware for Artemis II Heads to Florida

These images show the Orion stage adapter for Artemis II being prepped for shipment and then packaged in a large box, loaded on a semi-truck. It is seen leaving NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, as it begins its journey to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Manufactured at Marshall, this adapter for the SLS (Space Launch System) connects the rocket’s interim cryogenic propulsion stage to the Orion spacecraft and is the final piece of SLS hardware to be delivered to Kennedy Space Center in preparation for the Artemis II mission.
