    The pathfinder is the same shape, size and weight (without propellants loaded) as the actual SLS core stage, with the same center of gravity. It measures 212 feet, is 27.6 feet in diameter and weighs 228,000 pounds.

    The pathfinder was designed and built as a full-scale “form and fit” replica of the core stage of the new SLS rocket that will enable NASA to return astronauts to the surface of the Moon by 2024.
