L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) provided the booster, core and upper stage avionics for today’s launch of the Artemis I, enabling the safe launch of the Space Launch System and the United States’ first steps toward a return to the moon.
From engine start through the first eight minutes of flight, as Artemis I accelerated to more than 17,000 mph, more than 30 L3Harris high-performance, advanced space launch avionics systems enabled command and control, trajectory and solid rocket booster jettison for the SLS.
“For decades NASA relied on L3Harris’ expertise and technology – from early spacecraft through the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Space Shuttle, International Space Station and Mars missions,” said Kristin Houston, President, Electro Optical, L3Harris.
