Charlie Duke, NASA Astronaut (former), shown in front of one of the aft booster segments for the Space Launch System inside the Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) in Florida on May 10, 2021. Inside the VAB, the SLS core stage is being prepared for integration with the completed stack of solid rocket boosters atop the mobile launcher ahead of the Artemis I launch. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will test SLS and Orion as an integrated system prior to crewed flights to the Moon.
