Early in his role, he focused on hydrogen systems at <a href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/exploration-ground-systems/launch-pad-39b/\">Launch Pad 39B</a>, including the large liquid hydrogen sphere at the pad and the piping that delivers propellant to the rocket. Today, he works on the main propulsion system inside the rocket itself, a role that will put him in the firing room for the Artemis II test flight, at the center of launch operations.</p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><a href=\"https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1920&#038;h=1280&#038;fit=clip&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1920&amp;h=1280&amp;fit=clip&amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 52% 23%; object-position: 52% 23%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1920&amp;h=1280&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1920w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=300&amp;h=200&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 300w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=768&amp;h=512&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 768w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1024&amp;h=683&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1024w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1536&amp;h=1024&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1536w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=400&amp;h=267&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 400w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=600&amp;h=400&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 600w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=900&amp;h=600&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 900w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=800&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" /></a></figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">From left, NASA astronauts Bob Hines and Stan Love talk with Mike Guzman, Artemis launch team member, inside Firing Room 1 of the Rocco A.

It’s a roadmap for efficiency. By studying it in advance, Guzman and his colleagues know exactly where to find what they need and how to respond to unexpected issues.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to a successful launch relies on teamwork. On launch day, hundreds of engineers come together in the firing room to monitor every system on the spacecraft. Each console operator’s actions influence the others’, creating a constant interplay where observation, communication, and anticipation are key to mission success.</p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"nasa-gb-align-center padding-y-3 maxw-full width-full display-flex flex-align-center hds-module aligncenter wp-block-nasa-blocks-blockquote\"><div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block display-flex flex-column flex-justify-center padding-0\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:display-flex mobile:display-block\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"blockquote-icon margin-bottom-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"tablet:square-4 square-4 margin-right-3\" version=\"1.1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 3000 3000\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 3000 3000;\" xml:space=\"preserve\"> <g> <path d=\"M586.7,1429.7c-10.7,1.5-21.4,2.8-33.9,4.5c6.9-26.6,12.7-50.7,19.5-74.6c32.4-114.1,78.5-222.2,146.8-319.5 c90.2-128.5,202.5-235.3,327.7-329.1c8.4-6.3,16.7-12.6,25.3-19.1c-66.3-105.1-131.5-208.6-197.3-313.1c-3.5,1.2-5.5,1.6-7.2,2.6 C714.4,469,576.1,575.7,456,705.3c-126,135.9-226.2,289.1-303,457.8c-98.8,217.1-151.3,444-147.2,683.3 c1.7,100.5,12.9,199.6,41.1,296.3C93.7,2303,182.2,2433,326.7,2520.1c176.9,106.7,366.8,126.8,563.4,70.5 c150.9-43.2,260.9-138.9,327.2-282.5c33.4-72.5,47.8-149.4,52-228.7c6.5-122.8-14.1-239.5-74.3-348.1 C1074.6,1514.5,832.7,1394.2,586.7,1429.7z\"></path><path d=\"M2912.5,1722c-129.9-210.9-320.2-309.4-567.9-296c-22.1,1.2-44,5.1-67.4,7.9c2.2-9.6,4-17.9,6.1-26.2 c37.9-153.6,99.3-296,198.8-420.5c77.8-97.4,167.1-182.9,265.8-258.8c15.6-12,31.3-23.9,47.9-36.5 c-66.2-105.1-131.9-209.2-197.2-312.8c-3.5,1.1-5.1,1.2-6.4,2c-167.2,95.6-316.1,213.7-443.2,358.8 c-105.1,119.9-191.1,252.3-259.5,396.3c-95.5,201-152.1,411.6-159.1,634.8c-3.9,125.5,4.8,249.7,40.1,371 c46.7,160.8,135.7,290.9,280.5,378.7c165.7,100.5,344.8,123,531.2,78.8c172.4-40.8,296.4-143.9,366.3-308.5 c28.5-67.2,40.6-138,44.6-210.5C3000.2,1953.3,2979.9,1831.4,2912.5,1722z\"></path></g></svg>\n\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"blockquote-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"font-weight-extralight line-height-sm margin-top-0 section-heading-sm\"><span class=\"section-heading-sm\">It has to be a team sport.

His path to NASA Kennedy began after being handpicked for a summer internship in 2013, an opportunity that would ultimately change the course of his career.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n\n\n&lt;p&gt;During his internship, Guzman was inspired to build his own rocket. He purchased a textbook and began building a model rocket in his free time. The drive and passion he put into the project did not go unnoticed. Just three days after the model rocket launched, he was offered a job and has worked for America’s space agency ever since.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n\n&lt;div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"&gt;&lt;div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"&gt;&lt;div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"&gt;&lt;figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"&gt;&lt;a href=\"https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=1920&amp;#038;h=1280&amp;#038;fit=clip&amp;#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"&gt;&lt;img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=1920&amp;amp;h=1280&amp;amp;fit=clip&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1.2); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=1920&amp;amp;h=1280&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1920w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=300&amp;amp;h=200&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 300w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=768&amp;amp;h=512&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 768w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=1024&amp;amp;h=683&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1024w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=1536&amp;amp;h=1024&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1536w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=400&amp;amp;h=267&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 400w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=600&amp;amp;h=400&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 600w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=900&amp;amp;h=600&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 900w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196/KSC-20260202-PH-KLS01_0196~large.jpg?w=1200&amp;amp;h=800&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"&gt;&lt;div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\"&gt;Mike Guzman, main propulsion systems engineer, participates in a wet dress rehearsal for the Artemis II mission on Monday, Feb. 2, 2026, inside Firing Room 1 at the Rocco A. Petrone Launch Control Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The wet dress rehearsal allows the Artemis II launch team to run through operations to load propellant, conduct a full launch countdown, demonstrate the ability to recycle the countdown clock, and drain the tanks to practice timelines and procedures for launch. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=\"hds-credits\"&gt;NASA/Kim Shiflett&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n\n\n&lt;p&gt;Guzman began his work with a model rocket, and now, as part of &lt;a href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/exploration-ground-systems/\"&gt;Exploration Ground Systems&lt;/a&gt;, is part of the team launching the rocket that will carry astronauts around the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years: the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket for Artemis II.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n\n\n&lt;p&gt;Guzman joined the propulsion team in 2019. Early in his role, he focused on hydrogen systems at &lt;a href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/exploration-ground-systems/launch-pad-39b/\"&gt;Launch Pad 39B&lt;/a&gt;, including the large liquid hydrogen sphere at the pad and the piping that delivers propellant to the rocket. Today, he works on the main propulsion system inside the rocket itself, a role that will put him in the firing room for the Artemis II test flight, at the center of launch operations.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n\n&lt;div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"&gt;&lt;div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"&gt;&lt;div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"&gt;&lt;figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"&gt;&lt;a href=\"https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1920&amp;#038;h=1280&amp;#038;fit=clip&amp;#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"&gt;&lt;img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1920&amp;amp;h=1280&amp;amp;fit=clip&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 52% 23%; object-position: 52% 23%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1920&amp;amp;h=1280&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1920w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=300&amp;amp;h=200&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 300w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=768&amp;amp;h=512&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 768w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1024&amp;amp;h=683&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1024w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1536&amp;amp;h=1024&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1536w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=400&amp;amp;h=267&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 400w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=600&amp;amp;h=400&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 600w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=900&amp;amp;h=600&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 900w, https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209/KSC-20260320-PH-AJN01_0209~large.jpg?w=1200&amp;amp;h=800&amp;amp;fit=crop&amp;amp;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"&gt;&lt;div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\"&gt;From left, NASA astronauts Bob Hines and Stan Love talk with Mike Guzman, Artemis launch team member, inside Firing Room 1 of the Rocco A.

It’s a roadmap for efficiency. By studying it in advance, Guzman and his colleagues know exactly where to find what they need and how to respond to unexpected issues.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n\n\n&lt;p&gt;The key to a successful launch relies on teamwork. On launch day, hundreds of engineers come together in the firing room to monitor every system on the spacecraft. Each console operator’s actions influence the others’, creating a constant interplay where observation, communication, and anticipation are key to mission success.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n\n&lt;div id=\"\" class=\"nasa-gb-align-center padding-y-3 maxw-full width-full display-flex flex-align-center hds-module aligncenter wp-block-nasa-blocks-blockquote\"&gt;&lt;div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block display-flex flex-column flex-justify-center padding-0\"&gt;\n\t\t&lt;div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:display-flex mobile:display-block\"&gt;\n\t\t\t&lt;div class=\"blockquote-icon margin-bottom-3\"&gt;\n\t\t\t\t&lt;svg class=\"tablet:square-4 square-4 margin-right-3\" version=\"1.1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 3000 3000\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 3000 3000;\" xml:space=\"preserve\"&gt; &lt;g&gt; &lt;path d=\"M586.7,1429.7c-10.7,1.5-21.4,2.8-33.9,4.5c6.9-26.6,12.7-50.7,19.5-74.6c32.4-114.1,78.5-222.2,146.8-319.5 c90.2-128.5,202.5-235.3,327.7-329.1c8.4-6.3,16.7-12.6,25.3-19.1c-66.3-105.1-131.5-208.6-197.3-313.1c-3.5,1.2-5.5,1.6-7.2,2.6 C714.4,469,576.1,575.7,456,705.3c-126,135.9-226.2,289.1-303,457.8c-98.8,217.1-151.3,444-147.2,683.3 c1.7,100.5,12.9,199.6,41.1,296.3C93.7,2303,182.2,2433,326.7,2520.1c176.9,106.7,366.8,126.8,563.4,70.5 c150.9-43.2,260.9-138.9,327.2-282.5c33.4-72.5,47.8-149.4,52-228.7c6.5-122.8-14.1-239.5-74.3-348.1 C1074.6,1514.5,832.7,1394.2,586.7,1429.7z\"&gt;&lt;/path&gt;&lt;path d=\"M2912.5,1722c-129.9-210.9-320.2-309.4-567.9-296c-22.1,1.2-44,5.1-67.4,7.9c2.2-9.6,4-17.9,6.1-26.2 c37.9-153.6,99.3-296,198.8-420.5c77.8-97.4,167.1-182.9,265.8-258.8c15.6-12,31.3-23.9,47.9-36.5 c-66.2-105.1-131.9-209.2-197.2-312.8c-3.5,1.1-5.1,1.2-6.4,2c-167.2,95.6-316.1,213.7-443.2,358.8 c-105.1,119.9-191.1,252.3-259.5,396.3c-95.5,201-152.1,411.6-159.1,634.8c-3.9,125.5,4.8,249.7,40.1,371 c46.7,160.8,135.7,290.9,280.5,378.7c165.7,100.5,344.8,123,531.2,78.8c172.4-40.8,296.4-143.9,366.3-308.5 c28.5-67.2,40.6-138,44.6-210.5C3000.2,1953.3,2979.9,1831.4,2912.5,1722z\"&gt;&lt;/path&gt;&lt;/g&gt;&lt;/svg&gt;\n\t\t\t&lt;/div&gt;\n\t\t\t&lt;div class=\"blockquote-content\"&gt;\n\t\t\t\t&lt;div class=\"margin-bottom-4\"&gt;\n\t\t\t\t\t&lt;h2 class=\"font-weight-extralight line-height-sm margin-top-0 section-heading-sm\"&gt;&lt;span class=\"section-heading-sm\"&gt;It has to be a team sport.
