Space Launch System Block 1

The Space Launch System (SLS) Block 1 is NASA's powerful new rocket designed to send astronauts and cargo beyond Earth's orbit, especially to the Moon and eventually Mars. It features a core stage with large, powerful engines and solid rocket boosters for extra thrust. Block 1 is the initial version, capable of carrying heavy loads into space, serving as a foundation for future, more advanced versions (Blocks 1B and 2). Its design prioritizes safety, flexibility, and the ability to support deep space exploration missions, representing a significant step forward in human spaceflight infrastructure.
