NASA technicians have completed application of spray-on foam thermal insulation on the Launch Vehicle Stage Adapter. It is being outfitted for Artemis I, the first flight of NASA’s new rocket, the Space launch System and the Orion spacecraft. The adapter, which connects the rockets 212-foot-tall core stage to the upper in-space stage of the rocket, is the largest piece of hardware that has ever had insulation applied by hand at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
