将航天发射系统核心阶段送入预定位置

NASA completed a milestone in preparation for Green Run testing of its Space Launch System (SLS) core stage with an August 23-24, 2019, lift and installation of the core stage pathfinder simulator onto the B-2 Test Stand at Stennis Space Center. For this test of the new core stage, the team at Stennis will lift the flight core stage for Artemis 1, the first SLS mission into the stand. SLS and the new Orion spacecraft are the foundation for NASA’s Artemis Program, which will send the first woman and next man to the Moon by 2024.

The team at Stennis modified the B-2 Test Stand at for the core stage Green Run testing, which involved lifting the core stage from its horizontal position on the B-2 Test Stand tarmac with the facility boom crane line attached to the forward end and a ground crane line attached to the aft end.

NASA在为其航天发射系统(SLS)核心阶段的绿色运行测试做准备方面完成了一个里程碑，2019年8月23-24日，在Stennis空间中心的B-2试验台提升和安装核心阶段探路者模拟器。在新的核心阶段测试中，Stennis的团队将提升阿尔特弥斯1号的飞行核心阶段，这是SLS的第一个任务。SLS和新的猎户座飞船是美国宇航局阿尔特弥斯计划的基础，该计划将在2024年之前把第一位女性和第二位男性送上月球。

Stennis团队对B-2试验台进行了改进，用于核心级绿色运行测试，其中包括将核心级从其位于B-2试验台停机坪上的水平位置升起，设备吊杆吊车线连接到前端，地面吊车线连接到尾部。
