On the move⏩ Our team at #NASAMichoud recently transferred the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket's liquid oxygen tank for NASA's Artemis III mission into the final assembly production area where it will undergo integration of the forward dome. Eventually, the liquid oxygen tank will be moved back to the high bay where it will be mated with the intertank and forward skirt to complete the forward join of the Artemis III core stage.
