A close-up view of crawler-transporter 2 as it moves slowly along the crawlerway carrying the mobile launcher for the Artemis I mission after departing the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida in the early morning on Oct. 20, 2020. The nearly 400-foot-tall mobile launcher is being rolled to Launch Pad 39B. During its two-week stay at the pad, engineers with Exploration Ground Systems and Jacobs will perform several tasks, including a timing test to validate the launch teams countdown timeline, and a thorough, top-to-bottom wash down of the mobile launcher to remove any debris remaining from construction and installation of the umbilical arms. Artemis I will test the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System as an integrated system ahead of crewed flights to the Moon. Under the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and the next man on the Moon in 2024.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Workers consult on the next steps to take to construct the hazard field for the Project Morpheus lander near the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In the distance is the 525-foot-tall Vehicle Assembly Building.Testing of the prototype lander has been ongoing at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston in preparation for its first free flight. The SLF will provide the lander with the kind of field necessary for realistic testing, complete with rocks, craters and hazards to avoid. Morpheus utilizes an autonomous landing and hazard avoidance technology, or ALHAT, payload that will allow it to navigate to clear landing sites amidst rocks, craters and other hazards during its descent. Project Morpheus is one of 20 small projects comprising the Advanced Exploration Systems, or AES, program in NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. AES projects pioneer new approaches for rapidly developing prototype systems, demo

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the members of space shuttle Discovery's STS-131 crew take time out from their training to pose for a group portrait in front of the crawler-transporter that delivered Discovery to Launch Pad 39A. From left are Commander Alan Poindexter; Pilot James P. Dutton Jr.; and Mission Specialists Clayton Anderson, Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger, Stephanie Wilson, Naoko Yamazaki of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Rick Mastracchio. The crew members of space shuttle Discovery's STS-131 mission are at Kennedy for training related to their launch dress rehearsal, the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test. The seven-member crew will deliver the multi-purpose logistics module Leonardo, filled with resupply stowage platforms and racks, to the International Space Station aboard Discovery. Targeted for launch on April 5, STS-131 will be the 33rd shuttle mission to the station and the 131st shuttle mission overall.

With the lights out, the ISRU Pilot Excavator digs in regolith bin during testing inside Swamp Works at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 28, 2022. Tests use a gravity assist offload system to simulate reduced gravity conditions found on the Moon. On the surface of the Moon, mining robots like the Pilot Excavator will excavate the regolith and take the material to a processing plant where usable elements such as hydrogen, oxygen and water can be extracted for life support systems. The Pilot Excavator can scoop up icy regolith which can be used to make operations on the Moon sustainable.
