SLS Rollout

NASA Related || SLS Related || <2 Minute Read

NASA’s Space Launch System, or SLS, is a super heavy-lift launch vehicle that provides the foundation for human exploration beyond Earth’s orbit. With its unprecedented power and capabilities, SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and cargo directly to the Moon on a single mission.

Offering more payload mass, volume capability, and energy, SLS, the world’s most powerful rocket, can carry more payload to deep space than any other vehicle. The SLS rocket is designed to be evolvable, which makes it possible to fly more types of missions, including human missions to the Moon and Mars and robotic scientific missions to places like the Moon, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter.

The SLS team has delivered and is preparing for the Artemis I mission, NASA’s first exploration-class rocket built for human space travel since the Saturn V. Engineers and industry partners are making progress toward delivering rockets for the next several Artemis missions.
