Taken August 2018
The Space Launch System (SLS) Fuel Tank Cleaning Cell is situated within the Vertical Assembly Center at NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in Louisiana. This specialized facility is engineered to meticulously clean the interior of the massive fuel tanks destined for the Space Launch System rocket. The SLS rocket, designed to be the world’s largest, is a cornerstone of NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon. The rigorous cleaning process is essential to maintain the structural integrity and optimal performance of these critical components for future space missions.
