The first Space Launch System (SLS) Core Stage is now being readied for the program’s first launch at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), but the large rocket’s first stop on the way to liftoff was the once-in-a-generation Green Run verification campaign. The vehicle spent over a year in the B-2 position of the B Test Stand at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, where prime contractor Boeing performed an exhaustive checkout of their first build.
