NASA is pressing full steam ahead toward sending humans farther than ever before. Take a look at the work being done by teams across the nation for NASA’s deep space human exploration programs, including the Space Launch System, Orion and the Ground Systems Development and Operations Programs, as they continue to propel human spaceflight into the next generation. Highlights from the second quarter of 2016 included the installation of platforms in NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Vehicle Assembly Building in preparation for launch vehicle processing, relocation of the Orion crew module to prepare for propulsion tube welding and the second ground-based qualification test of the Space Launch System’s five-segment booster.
