>Boeing, the prime contractor for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) Core Stage, is adding two new work locations at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida as the company looks to support increases in the production rate of the launch vehicle. The completed engine section structure for the third Core Stage is being transported by barge from NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans to KSC, where Boeing will now outfit the most complicated element of the SLS inside the Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF).

>After the rest of the third Core Stage unit is completed at Michoud, it will also be barged to KSC, where final assembly will be moving into High Bay 2 of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at KSC. The large volume of the VAB High Bay will allow Boeing to store completed Core Stages without interfering with continuing production, which frees up more space at Michoud to expand operations there for production of the new Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) for the next generation of the SLS vehicle.

FUCK YES LET'S GO
I hate SLS as a development process but man-capable capsules in lunar orbit are always cool.
