Georgia partners helped develop the ring-shaped 

stage adapter that will be connected to the Space 

Launch System’s Interim Cryogenic Propulsion 

Stage, and the Orion spacecraft will be secured on 

top. 

Georgia Tech is developing new materials for the next generation of 

spacesuits NASA will use in the Artemis mission to return to the Moon.

Forty-eight Georgia suppliers contributed to NASA’s Artemis program. 

An example of the state’s contributions is providing titanium that 

secures the rocket engines and their feed lines to SLS.
