Artemis III SLS Core Stage Integration

The SLS (Space Launch System) core stage is lifted from the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026. The 212-foot rocket stage is moved using a one-of-a kind lifting beam designed to lift the stage. The core stage will be joined vertically with the completed solid rocket booster motor segments in its short stack configuration. The Artemis III mission will launch crew in the Orion spacecraft on top of the SLS rocket to test rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and commercial spacecraft needed to land astronauts on the Moon.
