NASA's iconic Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), home to the Artemis program, was directly struck by lightning during a strong storm in early April, 2023. The strike attached nearly simultaneous to an elevated platform on the roof of the VAB and to ground just southwest of the building. Long unconnected upward leaders are imaged in the frame containing the attachment from the extremities of the building. The data were captured by one of SLS' Jupiter OLS systems located along the crawlerway east of the VAB.
