men to the moon to the space shuttles that made manned spaceflight a regular American enterprise, every manned space vehicle launched from the Kennedy Space Center since 1968 has been prepared for its journey in the same place: a mammoth structure known as the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB...
"NASA is constantly looking for ways to get work done more efficiently so that we can get astronauts landing on the Moon by 2024," said Ben Birkenstock, the SLS stages vehicle assembly lead at NASA, in a statement.

The Space Launch System (SLS) mobile launcher has entered the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
“slow fill” to “fast fill,” but in both cases sensors detected higher-than-allowable levels of gaseous hydrogen near the umbilical. The fueling test was called off at that point and on April 15, engineers began hauling the SLS back to the Vehicle Assembly Building for troubleshooting and...
Vehicle Assembly Building front view This view below shows the side where the rocket exits the building and moves down the gravel road to the launch pad. The building on the left is the launch control center. Once the space craft and rocket booster has been assembled in the VAB, it will ...
In a scene straight out of NASA's past, a towering gantry was rolled into a large rocket hangar to undergo checks in support of the space agency's future. The Space Launch System (SLS) mobile launcher has entered the Vehicle Assembly Building.
