Fourth Liquid Hydrogen Tank for NASA’s Space Launch System Rocket Assembled

Review conditions
Fourth Liquid Hydrogen Tank for NASA’s Space Launch System Rocket Assembled

Teams at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans lift the 130-foot-tall liquid hydrogen tank off the vertical assembly center on Nov. 14. This is the fourth liquid hydrogen tank manufactured at the facility for the agency’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket. The completed tank will be loaded into a production cell for technicians to remove the lift tool, perform dimensional scans, and then install brackets, which will allow the move crew to break the tank over from a vertical to a horizontal configuration.
