NASA has completed a significant milestone for the Artemis III mission, with technicians at Kennedy Space Center integrating the 212-foot-tall Space Launch System (SLS) core stage with its twin solid rocket booster motor segments. This stacking operation, which involved lifting the core stage on October 22, 2026, and integrating it by October 28, is a crucial step in preparing for the mission.
