Space Launch System

Combining power and capability, NASA’s Space Launch System rocket is part of NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration and Artemis. SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and cargo directly to the Moon in a single launch. https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/space-launch-system/ Space Launch System Solid Rocket Booster Motor Segments Arrive at Kennedy Space Center–The 10 booster motor segments for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket that will help propel the Artemis II astronauts on a trip around the Moon arrived at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center earlier this week. Due to their weight, the 10 booster motor segments traveled by rail across eight states in specialized transporters to the spaceport. Program teams are preparing to process each of the segments inside the space center’s Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility ahead of integrating them inside the Vehicle Assembly Building. https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/marshall/artemis-ii-sls-rocket-booster-segments-arrive-to-kennedy-space-center/
