NASA ships Alabama-made space hardware to Kennedy for next SLS rocket flight
By: Jerry Underwood
A key piece of space flight hardware, manufactured at Alabama’s Marshall Space Flight Center, is on its way to Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the first crewed mission of NASA’s Artemis program.
Marshall workers in Huntsville rolled out the launch vehicle stage adapter (LVSA) for Artemis II and loaded it on NASA’s Pegasus Barge for shipment to Kennedy.
The cone-shaped LVSA connects the rocket’s core stage to the upper stage and helps protect the upper stage’s engine that will propel the Artemis II test flight around the moon, scheduled for 2025.
