Go-for-flight Super Guppy!! NASA's Super Guppy aircraft in flight, arriving to the U.S. Army’s Redstone Airfield in Huntsville, Alabama, April 2, to pick up flight hardware for NASA’s Space Launch System – the agency’s new, deep-space rocket that will enable astronauts to begin their journey to explore destinations far into the solar system. The Guppy departed shortly after to deliver the Orion stage adapter to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (nasakennedy) in Florida for flight preparations. On Exploration Mission-1, the first integrated flight of the SLS and the Orion spacecraft, the adapter will connect Orion to the rocket and carry 13 CubeSats as secondary payloads.
