The European Service Module for NASA’s Artemis III mission undergoes acoustic testing inside the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday, May 7, 2026. To simulate vibrations experienced during launch, technicians surround the module with a wall of high‑power speakers and measure how the structure responds using microphones, strain gauges, and accelerometers. Provided by ESA (European Space Agency) and its partner Airbus Space, the service module is the Orion spacecraft’s powerhouse, supplying it with electricity, propulsion, thermal control, air, and water in space.
