Quiz: Artemis II manufacturing and engineering innovations in NASA’s SLS core stage

The Space Launch System (SLS) core stage for Artemis II represents one of the most complex manufacturing efforts ever undertaken, combining decades-old shuttle hardware, advanced materials, and a distributed production model spanning facilities like the Michoud Assembly Facility and Kennedy Space Center’s Vehicle Assembly Building.

At 212 feet tall and powered by two solid rocket booster with four upgraded RS-25 engines, the core stage is the structural and propulsion backbone that enables the first crewed lunar mission in more 50 years.
