Overall:
The article is an interesting read. There is no issue for me, everything checks out. Paraphrasing issues were settled during the GA nomination process. The picture is used in the the gallery section of the article, not in the prose, but I don't think this is a problem. Both hooks are interesting. although I prefer ALT1 which I feel would appeal more to broad audience. Just waiting for a QPQ.

Article does not seem to mention the Launch Vehicle Stage Adapter for block 1. Seems Teledyne Brown Engineering are building it/them [3] "The LVSA provides the physical interface between the SLS Core Stage and the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS). It also serves as the critical separation system used to separate the Core Stage of the rocket from ICPS. The cone-shaped adapter is roughly thirty feet in diameter by thirty feet tall and consists of sixteen Aluminum-Lithium 2195 alloy panels." [4] Looks like First one cost $60 M, next two were $85 M for the pair. - Rod57 ( talk) 22:34, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
What is mass of the long Interstage ? Who is building them ? Is it part of EUS development/contract or a separate contract ? - Rod57 ( talk) 11:58, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
Isn't it supposed to have 2.5 stages, like the space shuttle? I think the boosters should count as half a stage. Cocobb8 ( talk) 12:48, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Is the SLS still in development? One mission has already launched, so isn't the launch system considered as "active" now? Cocobb8 ( talk) 18:31, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
The Artemis 1 reference guide says the following on page 22:
Weight 2.4 million lb (1,088 t) fueled without engines and 188,000 lb (85.3 t) unfueled without engines
It also says the engines are considered to be 3.5 tons each.
At the least, if you go with the 3177 kg mass from the RS-25 article, that would put the empty mass at 95.0 tons. If you go with the 3.5 ton figure - which might include other structure required to install the engine - that would bump it up to 95.8 tons.
I would also argue that the mass of the launch vehicle stage adapter (another 4.5 tons) should be added to that mass. 73.140.138.202 ( talk) 21:22, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
