NASA EGS, Jacobs preparing SLS Core Stage for Artemis 1 stacking
May 6, 2021
The Core Stage of NASA’s first Space Launch System (SLS) vehicle arrived at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and was moved into the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) on April 29. The stage is now in the hands of KSC’s Exploration Ground System (EGS) program and prime test operations and support contractor (TOSC) Jacobs.
The long-awaited milestone allows EGS and Jacobs to work towards putting the whole Orion/SLS vehicle together and beginning months of testing to get it ready for the launch of Artemis 1. The stage is now in the low bay of the VAB, where some “traveled” work from the recently-completed Green Run design verification campaign will be performed in parallel with preparations for stacking with the new launch vehicle’s Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB), which are already in place on the Mobile Launcher in VAB High Bay 3.

SpaceX’s Starship SN15 landed safely after its high-altitude test flight, successfully performing a landing-flip maneuver to softly touch down on a nearby pad.
The experimental test vehicle successfully launched at about 6:24 p.m. EDT (22:24 UTC) May 5, 2021, from SpaceX’s Boca Chica launch facility in South Texas. This came a week after the company secured a rare triple Federal Aviation Administration approval for three Starship flights.
“Starship landing nominal!” SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted soon after the landing.
