Orion spacecraft reaches VAB for Artemis 2 stacking

NASA's Orion spacecraft, named 'Integrity,' arrived at the Vehicle Assembly Building for stacking atop the Space Launch System for the Artemis 2 mission, which aims to send humans around the Moon no earlier than February 2026, marking the first crewed lunar mission since Apollo 17. The process includes extensive testing, crew preparations, and final launch preparations amid a government shutdown, with the launch window tentatively set for early 2026.
