At Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA specialists have joined the crew and service modules of the Orion spacecraft, which will be used for the Artemis III mission. Assembly took place in the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building — one of the key facilities where components of crewed vehicles are prepared before launch. The crew module is designed to house astronauts and support their life systems during flight, while the service module is responsible for power supply, propulsion systems, and thermal control systems of the spacecraft. The connection of these two sections is an important stage in preparing Orion for its future flight, which is expected to be part of NASA's Artemis program — an ambitious project to return humans to the Moon and establish a sustainable presence on its surface. The Artemis III mission is considered one of the key steps toward future crewed missions to Mars. After completion of the module assembly, engineers will conduct a series of tests and checks of the spacecraft's systems before its integration with the Space Launch System (SLS) launch vehicle. NASA continues phased preparation of equipment and infrastructure despite periodic delays in Artemis program missions caused by the need to ensure maximum crew safety.
