NASA and Boeing working on optimizing SLS stage production at MAF


NASA and Boeing working on optimizing SLS stage production at MAF
May 24, 2021
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) program and Stages prime contractor Boeing are collaborating on optimizing the production areas at the Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans. The final assembly of the second Core Stage is underway as work expands to cover the production of multiple Core Stages and Exploration Upper Stages (EUS) for the SLS Block 1B vehicle.
SLS and Boeing started a long-term factory optimization plan at the end of 2019; among the changes is a reorganization of the layout of production areas to increase work efficiency. The initial goal for SLS is to reach a delivery rate of one Core Stage and one EUS every year, which will require simultaneous assembly and outfitting of three builds of each unit. ....

NASA, Boeing looking to begin SLS Exploration Upper Stage manufacturing in 2021


NASA, Boeing looking to begin SLS Exploration Upper Stage manufacturing in 2021
March 4, 2021
Manufacturing and assembly development work for the Space Launch System (SLS) Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) is starting to ramp up at the Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans. NASA’s SLS Program and EUS prime contractor Boeing are preparing to begin construction of the test and flight articles that will be needed to certify and fly the new upper stage’s first launch.
A structural test article (STA) will be assembled at MAF and tested at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama. The first flight article will then be completed and travel from Michoud to the relatively nearby Stennis Space Center in southern Mississippi for a Green Run test campaign similar to the one that the first Core Stage is going through. ....
