SLS (Space Launch System)
The Space Launch System (SLS) is a powerful rocket developed by NASA to send astronauts and cargo into space, primarily for missions to the Moon and beyond. Designed to replace the Space Shuttle, SLS is intended to support deep space exploration, including potential Mars missions. It features a modular design, allowing for different configurations to carry various payloads. The rocket's advanced technology ensures robust performance and safety for crewed missions, making it a key component of NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and lay the groundwork for future exploration of Mars.
