# Artemis II Stacking Timelapse (KSC-20251205-MH-FJM01-0001-Artemis II Stacking Timelapse-M18000)

Nearly 12 months of work captured in 3.5 minutes of video, technicians with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems team assemble and stack one by one the twin solid rocket boosters, the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket core stage, and secure the Orion spacecraft atop the SLS for the Artemis II mission inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025. Set to launch in 2026, the spacecraft will carry NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen on a 10-day mission around the Moon and back. Teams are conducting a series of verification tests ahead of rolling out to Launch Complex 39B for the wet dress rehearsal at NASA Kennedy.
