The Space Launch System (SLS)

The Space Launch System (SLS) is a powerful rocket developed by NASA to carry astronauts and cargo beyond Earth’s orbit, primarily aiming for the Moon and future deep space destinations. It consists of a core stage with large engines and boosters that provide the necessary thrust to escape Earth’s gravity. Designed for repeated use and high capacity, the SLS supports NASA’s Artemis program to return humans to the Moon and explore further into space. Its advanced technology ensures safe, reliable, and efficient launches for complex missions beyond low Earth orbit.
