Technicians at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, recently rotated, or “flipped,” the smallest major element for NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket to install a critical component Nov. 30. The five-foot-tall, 1,800-pound Orion stage adapter connects NASA’s Orion spacecraft to the SLS rocket’s interim cryogenic propulsion stage and is fully manufactured at Marshall. The recently installed diaphragm acts as a barrier to prevent gases created during the Artemis II launch from entering the spacecraft.
