The large Space Launch System print on the wall was placed there to show what is being built in this room.
The Forward Skirt is part of NASA’s Space Launch System. Housing flight computers, cameras and avionics it is pretty much the brain of the rocket. This photo was taken a couple weeks after it’s final assembly was completed at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility. It will be used in Exploration Mission-1, launching from the Kennedy Space Center in June 2020.
