Artemis Hardware Moves Inside Kennedy’s Vehicle Assembly Buildin

Kennedy Space Center, FL — October 2026 — Inside the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building, NASA engineers continue stacking and preparing Artemis hardware as Florida’s Space Coast stays central to America’s return to the Moon.

Why the VAB Still Matters for Visitors

The VAB is the cathedral of American spaceflight. Artemis work means more crawlerway activity, pad operations at 39B, and a steady stream of media and tourist interest around KSC. Future Artemis missions will bring new viewing opportunities — and new reasons to plan a Space Coast trip around launch windows.

• Home of Space Launch System (SLS) stacking and processing
• Pad 39B reserved for Artemis deep-space launches
• Visitor Complex exhibits and bus tours put the Moon program in context for families

Whether you catch a Falcon 9 this month or wait for the next SLS rollout, Kennedy is where Florida’s past and future of exploration meet.
