Video Intertank for the Core Stage for the first SLS Flight.

This video shows the Space Launch System interank, which recently completed assembly at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. This tank was bolted together with more than 7,000 bolts. It is the only part of the SLS core stage assembly with bolts rather than by welding. The rocket's interank is located between the core stage liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen fuel tanks. It has to be strong because the two SLS solid rocket boosters attache to the sides of it. This flight article will be connected to four other parts to form the core stage for the first integrated flight
