Summary
| Description | Runs 1:28: Keith Higginbotham, the NASA launch vehicle stage adapter hardware manager, explains the adapter’s role as part of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. On July 17, the move team transported the adapter for the Artemis I SLS launch vehicle to the Pegasus barge. Teledyne Brown Engineering in Huntsville, Alabama built the launch vehicle stage at a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. The launch vehicle stage adapter connects the rocket’s two stages: the core stage and the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage. This is the last piece of SLS rocket hardware built at Marshall that will be delivered to Kennedy Space Center in Florida in preparation of the Artemis I mission to the Moon. |
