Artemis II: The SLS Moon Journey Model

This highly detailed 3D model replicates NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) for the historic Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight of the Orion spacecraft. Designed with precision and scale in mind, it captures the iconic orange core stage, the powerful twin Solid Rocket Boosters, and the Orion crew capsule perched atop the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage. Whether you are a space enthusiast or a 3D printing hobbyist, this model serves as a perfect educational display piece that celebrates humanity's return to the Moon.

Assembly Instructions

Follow these quick steps to bring your Artemis II rocket to life:

1. Core Stage: The main orange rocket body consists of two primary sections. Apply a small amount of plastic glue to the connecting rims and align them carefully to ensure a seamless vertical join.

2. Booster Preparation: Locate the connector pins on Plate Number 3. If the mounting holes on the core stage feel too tight, use a small screwdriver to gently ream the openings and loosen the tolerances.

3. Final Attachment: Insert the pins into the boosters and press them firmly into the core stage. This requires some physical force to ensure a secure, "snap-fit" connection.
