🚀 Enjoy these views of the Artemis II launch from cameras affixed to the rocket! On April 1, 2026, the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket lifted off, sending four astronauts on a test flight around the Moon and back aboard their Orion spacecraft. These cameras, developed by engineers at NASA Marshall, are called the Flight Imaging Launch Monitoring Real-time System (FILMRS). They are able to survive some of the harshest environments during launch. Watch the full video here: Also, check out the 360 degree view of launch here:

Before Intuitive Machines' Nova-C lunar lander Trinity journeys to the Moon, it's being put to the test at NASA Marshall. We recently completed thermal vacuum testing of its navigation pod inside our X-Ray Cryogenic Facility, verifying it can withstand harsh lunar descent. Video Credit: Intuitive Machines

On Jan. 10, two test stands at NASA Marshall – the Propulsion and Structural Test Facility and the Dynamic Test Facility – were removed by carefully coordinated implosions. The demolition of these historic structures is part of a larger project that began in spring 2022, targeting several inactive structures and building a dynamic, interconnected campus ready for the next era of space exploration. Learn more about these structures and their legacies here:
