In this view from above in the Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF) high bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians assist as a crane moves the Orion Stage Adapter (OSA) to a work area. The OSA is the second flight-hardware section of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket to arrive at Kennedy. The OSA will connect the Orion spacecraft to the upper part of the SLS, the interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS). Both the OSA and ICPS, at left, are being stored for processing in the center's SSPF in preparation for Exploration Mission-1, the first uncrewed, integrated launch of the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft
