Space Launch System
The Space Launch System (SLS) is a powerful, NASA-developed rocket designed to transport crew and cargo to deep space destinations, including the Moon and Mars. It serves as the primary launch vehicle for the Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and eventually facilitate crewed missions to Mars. The SLS features a modular design, allowing for various configurations and payload capacities, and incorporates advanced technologies from previous space exploration programs. With its high thrust capability and large payload capacity, the SLS is intended to support missions that require greater performance than current launch vehicles. It holds significance not only for NASA's exploration goals but also for the future of human presence beyond low Earth orbit.
