The Engineering Laboratories of NASA's Kennedy Space Center

The Engineering Laboratories of NASA's Kennedy Space Center

The NASA Laboratories, Development and Testing Division provides science and engineering services to NASA programs and projects, contractor partners, and external customers, such as other government agencies, aerospace companies, and academia. This video shows a quick overview of the team that provides unique solutions to unusual and urgent problems associated with aerospace flight hardware, ground support equipment, and related facilities in areas, including materials engineering, non-destructive evaluation, testing, payload processing, avionics, software, and prototype development/fabrication.

The John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC), located on Merritt Island, Florida, is one of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) ten field centers. Since 1968, KSC has been NASA's primary launch center of American spaceflight, research, and technology. Launch operations for the Artemis, Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were carried out from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39 and managed by KSC.

The Artemis II test flight is the first crewed flight under NASA’s Artemis campaign and is another step toward missions on the lunar surface and helping the agency prepare for future human missions to Mars.

The Artemis II test flight will be sending NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Reid Wiseman, as well as Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on a ten-day journey around the Moon and back no earlier than April 2026.
