Flip it and reverse it. Teams at NASAMarshall recently flipped the #Artemis II Orion stage adapter as they prepare to install the critical component to the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket. The stage adapter is the “smallest” vital component to the SLS rocket, weighing up to 1,800 lbs (816 kg) and is 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. This piece connects the Orion spacecraft with the SLS rocket’s interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS). The ICPS holds liquid hydrogen and oxygen fuel that will propel the Artemis II astronauts around the Moon.
