#unboxing Thursday… At the HIF, ICPS-2 is removed from its protective shipping container before moving to the Delta Operations Center (DOC) for processing. #ToryTimelapse
Artemis II is currently scheduled to launch in late 2023, though NASA is likely to face schedule delays due to the reuse and installation of Orion components following Artemis Iand a tight delivery schedule of the Orion service module. This avionics reuse, which is driven entirely by when the Orion capsule returns from its first mission, is considered the primary critical path for Artemis II. [...] [However], NASA has attempted to mitigate Artemis II’s schedule risk by initiating the purchase of an additional set of avionics should the Artemis I launch schedule continue to slip, thereby decoupling the Artemis II launch schedule from Artemis I.

#NASA #NAC #HEO - These are the milestones remaining for Artemis 2, looking forward to the deliveries of the ICPS, we have upgrades on the pad we need to do, then at that point that will complete the hardware end of it. Won't have to do some of the Mods we did in Artemis 1

Wasnt there a photo of the ICPS for A2 already delivered? Is it still incomplete?
Engineers Power Up Crew Module for First Artemis Mission with AstronautsThe Orion crew module for Artemis II was powered on for the first time May 27 inside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This capsule will carry astronauts on a trip around the Moon during the first crewed Artemis mission and helps set the stage for future lunar landing missions through Artemis.With initial power-on complete, the crew module will undergo a three-part test over several months which includes applying power to each of the eight power and data units that help provide communication between Orion’s flight computers to its components. In addition, teams will begin installing the forward bay cover, which protect the top part of the crew module as the capsule blazes back through Earth’s atmosphere at speeds of up to 25,000 mph at the end of its missionWith Artemis, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon and establish long-term exploration in preparation for missions to Mars. The Space Launch System rocket and Orion, along with the commercial human landing system and the Gateway that will orbit the Moon, are NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration.Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
