Zeta was the latest hurricane to disrupt testing in the Green Run campaign for the Core Stage at Stennis; work was stopped for the sixth time by tropical weather this 2020 Atlantic hurricane season

(Photo Caption: Some of the Stennis Space Center test facilities are seen in the distance in the upper left of this image from May, 2019. Tugboats moved the Pegasus barge towards the B-2 Test Stand, which is the farthest in the background here looking from west to east. Hurricane Zeta passed directly through Stennis with winds near 100 miles per hour in the evening of October 28.)

For the sixth time during the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane season, Boeing and NASA were forced to stop work on Core Stage-1 for the Green Run, take down platforms and scaffolding, secure vehicle doors, and otherwise batten down the hatches

The stage is the most exposed SLS flight hardware in the area since it is installed in an outdoor test stand for the Green Run test campaign duration

Indoor assembly and production of Core Stage-2 at MAF was also suspended and both locations closed prior to the storm with only rideout crews remaining on site while Zeta passed through

Reconfiguring the test area and the Core Stage to get back to work may have to wait until after damage assessments are completed, along with restoring power to facilities, road cleanup, and any other necessary repairs of infrastructure
