On Nov. 6, 2019 engineers
and technicians attached the last of four RS-25 engines that will provide the
necessary thrust for the SLS rocket to reach space. To complete assembly of the
stage, technicians now are attaching the engines to propulsion and avionics
systems inside the core stage, which also houses the flight computers that control
the rocket during its first eight minutes of flight. NASA will showcase the
completed core stage in December. Credits:

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL/MICHOUD ASSEMBLY FACILITY, LA – The last of four RS-25 engines that will ultimately help power the first launch of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket to the Moon on the first Artemis mission has been mated to the mammoth rockets core stage by engineers and technicians at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans.
NASA announced the joining of the final RS-25 engine onto the bottom engine section of the 212-foot-long SLS core stage on Nov. 8.
