Technicians lifted the intertank for NASA's deep space rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), into a vertical stacking area at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. Here, engineers will join it with two other large structures to form the top half of the 212-foot-tall core stage that will be flown on Exploration Mission-1, the first flight of SLS and the Orion spacecraft. The intertank, which holds some of the avionics that help control the rocket, will be bolted to the propellant tank. An optimised version of an original NASA image. Credit: NASA/JGuidry
