A not-so-spooky Spider 🕷️🕸️ has been mated to the Space Launch System (SLS) core stage for Artemis II at @NASAKennedy. The Spider is connected at the top of the core stage, helping with lifting operations using the Vehicle Assembly Building crane.

NASA has completed a full “wet dress rehearsal” of its Space Launch System rocket ahead of the Artemis II mission, which aims to send four astronauts around the Moon.

Seeing images of the #SpaceLaunchSystem on the pad really underscores the magnitude of the #ArtemisII mission. I wrote an article for @uk.theconversation.com on the #OrionSpacecraft heat shield and its critical role in the mission:

Heat shield safety concerns raise stakes for Nasa’s Artemis II Moon mission
Worries were raised when the heat shield from a previous mission came back damaged.

When NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) lifted off on April 1, 2026, carrying four astronauts to return to the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years, the backbone of that rocket was a Boeing product.

#NASA #Boeing #theMoon #SpaceLaunchSystem #EuropeanSpaceAgency #AirbusDefenceandSpace
Boeing built the backbone, NASA aimed it at the Moon
NASA's first crewed Moon mission in 54 years is also the most complex supply chain operation humanity has ever attempted.

Saw this poor rocket at the Australian Space Discovery Centre...

A hybrid of Falcon 9 Upper Stage and SLS Core Stage + SRB... Amazing xD

Plus, that means the above payload fairing must be massive :>

"Did you know the Saturn V rocket that took astronauts to the moon was only about 1/3 the height of a modern-day Burj Khalifa skyscraper? Meanwhile, NASA's SLS rocket is nearly 3x taller. Mind. Blown. #SpaceLaunchSystem #SaturnV #SpaceHistory"

"Did you know the Space Launch System (SLS) core stage is so massive, it takes 12 F-16 fighter jets lined up end-to-end to match its length? That's like stacking 24 school buses on top of each other! #SLS #SpaceLaunchSystem"

"Did you know the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket weighs around 3.8 million lbs, roughly 5x the weight of the largest commercial airliner, the Boeing 747? You could fit 15,000 of these planes side by side, and they'd still be 100ft shorter than the Saturn V rocket #SpaceLaunchSystem #SaturnV"

Artemis III's RS-25 engines are a crucial step towards lunar exploration. Let's not forget, these same engines will power future human missions to Mars! #SpaceLaunchSystem #ArtemisProgram
nasaupdates.bsky.social NASA | ESA Space Updates @nasaupdates.bsky.social · Jul 2
NASA’s Kennedy Space Center has received two of the four RS-25 engines designated for the #Artemis III moon mission. Combined, these engines will provide more than 2 million pounds of liftoff thrust, powering the Space Launch System rocket during the initial 8 minutes of its journey into space.

"Did you know the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket's core stage can produce more thrust than the Saturn V's entire rocket? To put that in perspective, the SLS's core stage produces thrust equivalent to 1.6 MILLION Boeing 747s taking off simultaneously!" #SpaceLaunchSystem #SaturnV

"Did you know the Space Launch System (SLS) might not be the most efficient rocket? While it's a behemoth of a rocket, its core engine produces less thrust than a Boeing 747's engines - 1.5M lbs vs 7.5M lbs #SLS #SpaceLaunchSystem #SaturnV"
