Small satellites, called CubeSats, are shown secured 

inside NASA’s Orion stage adapter. The ring-shaped 

stage adapter will be connected to the Space 

Launch System’s Interim Cryogenic Propulsion 

Stage, and the Orion spacecraft will be secured on 

top. The CubeSats will conduct a variety of science 

experiments and technology demonstrations that 

will expand our knowledge of the lunar surface 

during the Artemis I mission.

Seven Delaware suppliers contributed to NASA’s Artemis program. 

An example of the state’s contributions is providing socket head cap 

screws for NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems Team.
