Big move, bigger mission! The Artemis III Space Launch System core stage moved to the transfer aisle at NASA Kennedy. Next up – teams will lift and integrate the massive 212-foot-rocket with the solid rocket boosters as we prepare for the next giant leap in lunar exploration.
The SLS (Space Launch System) core stage is horizontal in the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday, Oct. 23, 2026. The 212-foot rocket stage was lifted from High Bay 2 using a one-of-a kind lifting beam designed to lift the stage and will be joined vertically with the completed solid rocket booster motor segments in its short stack configuration.

Nice win! Good stuff all around. Defense was dominant in the redzone & the offense saw marked improvement. Would like that to continue with a very important game on the horizon… 5-2. Bring on the Chiefs at Mile High. #BroncosCountry
