NASA prepares Artemis II, the first crewed flight of SLS, to orbit the Moon and test Orion spacecraft systems.
NASA conducted a final test on one of its redesigned engines for future flights of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, the latest step in the agency's efforts for a return trip to the moon, then eventually to Mars.
NASA engineers manage propulsion systems and space communications to maintain Artemis II’s schedule, ensuring the Orion spacecraft and crew remain connected from launch to splashdown.
