NASA's Artemis 2 mission, which will launch to the moon as soon as 2024, will use a Space Launch System (SLS) rocket core stage that is nearly ready, aside from its four RS-25 engines. The core stage is now fully assembled and will be completed soon. The larger Artemis program aims to eventually establish a crewed outpost near the lunar south pole.
