Across the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and supporting ground infrastructure, Moog actuation and motion control technologies played essential roles throughout the launch sequence, including steering all stages of the SLS rocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe engineer for the most demanding moments in aerospace in the harshest environments imaginable,\u201d said Nicole Wodka-Cook, Moog General Manager. \u201cThis successful launch underscores the reliability and precision our teams bring to every system, whether we\u2019re protecting astronauts, guiding the rocket, or supporting mission-critical ground operations.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moog provided a wide range of technologies vital to launch-day success, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Thrust vector control systems<\/strong> that guided and steered the SLS rocket during ascent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Launch Abort System actuators<\/strong> among the most critical safety components, designed to rapidly pull the crew capsule to safety in the event of an emergency during liftoff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fluid control and actuation technologies<\/strong> that support propulsion, stabilization, and power distribution across multiple subsystems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mobile launch pad actuators <\/strong>that<strong> <\/strong>retract access walkways and umbilical connections at liftoff.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Moog technology has ensured safe and successful space missions both during flight and on the ground since the beginning of spaceflight. This launch advances the effort to return humans to the lunar surface as part of NASA\u2019s future Artemis launches. Moog remains committed to innovating precision motion control technologies that enhance safety and reliability throughout the Artemis missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Moog Inc.<\/strong><br>Moog is a worldwide designer, manufacturer, and systems integrator of high-performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems.
