Teams have started stacking the SLS’s solid rocket boosters inside the Vehicle Assembly Building for next year’s mission, while nearby technicians attached Orion's heat shield to the Artemis III crew module. These milestones are marking another major step as NASA works quickly to prepare to launch astronauts to low-Earth orbit and test the systems needed for future Moon landings. NASA Earth science is being put to work around the world to save lives. This week, NASA’s Disasters program supported emergency response efforts in Colorado, Louisiana, Guam, and Venezuela, providing satellite data and maps to help first responders assess impacts, from wildfires, severe weather, and earthquakes.
