Space Launch System (SLS)

The Space Launch System (SLS) is a powerful rocket developed by NASA to transport astronauts and cargo beyond Earth's orbit, particularly to the Moon and Mars. It is designed for deep space missions and is part of NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon by the mid-2020s. The SLS combines advanced technology with decades of experience from previous rocket designs, featuring a core stage with powerful engines and additional boosters for extra thrust. Its development is essential for advancing human exploration of space and supporting future missions to further destinations.
