NASA's Artemis II Moon Mission Service Module: Final Assembly & Testing

NASA's Artemis II Moon Mission Service Module: Final Assembly & Testing









The service module for the Artemis II Orion spacecraft was moved into the Final Assembly and System Testing (FAST) Cell inside the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it will be integrated with the crew module before being handed over to NASA's Exploration Ground Systems for fueling.

Artemis II will be NASA’s first crewed flight test of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft around the Moon to verify today’s capabilities for humans to explore deep space and pave the way for long-term exploration and science on the lunar surface.
