NASA’s Artemis III gets 8 final booster segments for 7.2 million pounds of thrust

Northrop Grumman has delivered the final eight solid rocket booster segments for NASA's Artemis III mission to Kennedy Space Center, completing all booster hardware needed for the launch. These twin boosters will generate 7.2 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, making them the most powerful human-rated motors ever built. While Artemis III won't land on the moon, it prepares the way for Artemis IV and V, which aim to land astronauts near the lunar south pole.
