    Aircrew members prepare a NASA B-377-SGT Super Guppy Turbine from NASA’s Johnson Space Center, Texas for departure at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, Aug. 1, 2023. The Super Guppy Turbine was in transit to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida and was carrying the Orion Heat Shield. The 16.5-foot-wide heat shield is one of the most important systems on the Artemis II Orion spacecraft and will help ensure a safe return of astronauts on board. NASA’s Artemis program aims to return humans to the moon for long-term exploration and future missions. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Joshua Hastings).
