Media Advisory -Artemis II: Media invited to view SLS core stage rollout

LONGUEUIL, QC, June 10, 2024 /CNW/ - NASA is inviting media to the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans to view the fully assembled Space Launch System (SLS) core stage. The SLS is the rocket that will take the Orion spacecraft and the Artemis II crew to space, including Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen. 

This event is currently planned for no earlier than mid-July 2024. It will allow media to capture footage of the nearly 65-metre-high core stage of the SLS being transported to the Pegasus barge that will ferry it to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, to hear from NASA and industry leaders, and to speak to subject matter experts.

Canadian media must apply by June 14 by contacting Corinne Beckinger at [email protected] and Craig Betbeze at [email protected].
