## Caption

Engineers and technicians at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans have structurally mated the first of four RS-25 engines to the core stage for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket that will help power the first Artemis mission to the Moon. Integration of the RS-25 engines to the recently completed core stage structure is a collaborative, multistep process for NASA and its partners Boeing, the core stage lead contractor, and Aerojet Rocketdyne, the RS-25 engines lead contractor. The installation process will be repeated for each of the four RS-25 engines. Now, the technicians will integrate the propulsion and electrical systems to complete the installation as we move one step closer to launching American astronauts to the Moon from a modernized Kennedy Space Center.
