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 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).
