The Space Launch System (SLS) core stage pathfinder replica is shown installed on the B-2 Test Stand at Stennis Space Center following an Aug. 23-24, 2019, lift and handling exercise. The pathfinder is a size-and-weight replica of the actual SLS core stage, which will be installed and tested on the B-2 Test Stand in 2020. It was used to practice lifting and handling techniques prior to arrival of the actual core stage.
