NASA's Artemis II mission has reached a significant milestone as the core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is transported 900 miles from the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. The core stage, the largest of its kind in the world, was shipped aboard NASA's Pegasus barge and is expected to arrive at KSC after transiting through Port Canaveral on Monday morning and the Banana River. This stage will be used in the Artemis II mission, which aims to send astronauts around the Moon next year, marking the furthest human spaceflight to date. Three Artemis II astronauts visited the barge crew to thank them for their dedication. The NASA Ground Systems team at KSC is prepared to receive the core stage.
