Boeing Completes NASA SLS Core Stage Facility Expansion at KSC

Boeing and NASA are finalizing new production facilities at Kennedy Space Center to deliver the next two Space Launch System (SLS) core stages by 2026. The facilities, including the Vehicle Assembly Building, will support the assembly of the Artemis III and IV missions. Despite delays due to Hurricane Milton and equipment issues, Boeing is progressing with the integration of core stage components. The expansion aims to streamline production and address challenges with existing Shuttle-derived hardware, as NASA studies future contract options for SLS production.
