Boeing transports the core stage of Artemis III to Florida.

At the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, excitement filled the air as teams transitioned from the successful Artemis II mission to the upcoming Artemis III mission, which aims to return humans to the Moon for the first time in over fifty years. Boeing and NASA rolled out the core stage of the Space Launch System, marking a historic first by shipping it without its engines. This strategic move allows for faster assembly at the Kennedy Space Center. The Artemis III mission, scheduled for 2027, will carry the first woman and person of color to the lunar South Pole, advancing human exploration.
