TL;DR

NASA’s Artemis II relies on a vast ground-operations network. This episode highlights the Exploration Ground Systems program and the massive equipment that moves and supports the rocket— including the 380-foot mobile launcher, the 11.5-million-pound crawler-transporter, and the Pegasus barge that ferries the core stage from New Orleans to Kennedy Space Center—along with the engineers and technicians who ensure safety, reliability, and on-time delivery for a crewed mission to orbit the Moon and fuel future journeys to Mars.
