Progress Continues on Orion’s Service Module for Artemis II (News Release)

Inside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians work on the European Service Module that will help power and propel the Orion spacecraft carrying astronauts around the Moon on the Artemis II mission.
