	October 04, 2019  MEDIA ADVISORY In Case You Missed It: A Weekly Summary of Top Content from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Week of Sept. 30-Oct. 4   I Am Building SLS: Bryan Barley Barley and his team at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, ensure that the Space Launch System rocket upper stage, Orion and science payloads are safely integrated with the rocket so Orion and the payloads can reach their orbits.   SLS Rocket Pathfinders Prepare Teams for One-of-a-Kind Hardware Prior to Moon Mission NASA’s Pegasus barge arrived Sept. 27 at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida with the core stage pathfinder for NASA’s Space Launch System rocket. The pathfinder will be used for lift and transport practice techniques inside Kennedy’s Vehicle Assembly Building to prepare for the first lunar mission of SLS and Orion, Artemis I.   Fast-Track to the Moon: NASA Opens Call for Artemis Lunar Landers NASA is seeking proposals for human lunar landing systems designed and developed by American companies for the Artemis program, which includes sending the first woman and next man to the surface of the Moon by 2024. The Human Landing System Program is managed for the agency by Marshall.   NASA's InSight 'Hears' Peculiar Sounds on Mars Put an ear to the ground on Mars and you'll be rewarded with a symphony of sounds. Granted, you'll need superhuman hearing, but NASA's InSight lander comes equipped with an exquisitely sensitive seismometer. InSight is part of NASA's Discovery Program, managed by Marshall.   NASA's Juno Prepares to Jump Jupiter's Shadow On Sept. 30, NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter successfully executed a 10.5-hour propulsive maneuver -- extraordinarily long by mission standards. The goal of the burn will keep the solar-powered spacecraft out of what would have been a mission-ending shadow cast by Jupiter on the spacecraft during its next close flyby of the planet on Nov. 3. The Juno mission is part of the New Frontiers Program, managed by Marshall.
