Technicians used a 30-ton crane to lift NASA’s Orion spacecraft on Friday, June 28, 2024, from the Final Assembly and System Testing (FAST) cell to the altitude chamber inside the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft, which will be used for the Artemis II mission to orbit the Moon, underwent leak checks and end-to-end performance verification of the vehicle’s subsystems.

Meanwhile, the NASA Artemis II Orion Spacecraft has been undergoing testing in the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout building at KSC in Florida.
Recent testing included end-to-end performance verification of its subsystems, checking for leaks in its propulsion systems, and electromagnetic testing. Next up - vacuum chamber qualification testing.
