NASA Artemis III的SLS核心级10月28日与双助推器完成合体：212英尺芯级吊装就位，下一步赴39B发射台加注演练
美国国家航空航天局（NASA）10月28日表示，Artemis III 任务的太空发射系统（SLS）核心级当天已在佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心的航天器装配大楼 3 号高跨间内，与一对固体火箭助推器完成集成合体。这是这枚重型火箭总装进程中的最新一步。
NASA 介绍，技术人员使用一具专门设计的吊梁，把长 212 英尺的核心级从装配大楼的 2 号高跨间吊起，安放到移动发射平台上、与双助推器并列就位。待测试与检查全部完成后，团队会把核心级与助推器组成的箭体整体转运至 39B 发射台，进行加注试验：届时只向核心级加注液氢与液氧推进剂，发射团队借此演练倒计时流程与时间表。
按 NASA 的任务方案，Artemis III 将把 NASA 宇航员 Randy Bresnik、Frank Rubio、Andre Douglas 与欧洲航天局（ESA）宇航员 Luca Parmitano 乘 Orion 飞船、由 SLS 火箭送入太空，测试 Orion 与 Blue Origin、SpaceX 两家公司商业飞船之间的交会对接能力，为后续把宇航员送上月球表面的任务做准备。
Artemis III SLS Core Stage Joins Twin Boosters at Kennedy on Oct. 28; Tanking Test at Pad 39B Is Next
NASA said on Oct. 28 that the core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket for the Artemis III mission has been integrated alongside its twin solid rocket boosters inside High Bay 3 of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the latest step in stacking the heavy-lift rocket.
Technicians lifted the 212-foot core stage from the facility's High Bay 2 using a one-of-a-kind lifting beam designed to place the stage onto the mobile launcher, next to the boosters. Once testing and checkouts are complete, teams will roll the core stage and booster stack out to Launch Pad 39B to conduct a tanking test, in which liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants will be loaded only into the core stage while launch teams practice countdown procedures and timelines.
Under NASA's plan, Artemis III will launch NASA astronauts Randy Bresnik, Frank Rubio, and Andre Douglas, along with ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Luca Parmitano, aboard the Orion spacecraft on top of the SLS rocket. The mission will test rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and commercial spacecraft from Blue Origin and SpaceX, ahead of a future mission to land astronauts on the Moon.
