The Space Launch System (SLS), designed by NASA, is a super-heavy launch vehicle. With its unprecedented power and capability, the SLS is the only rocket capable of sending an Orion spacecraft, astronauts and cargo to the moon in one go.
SLS provides payloads with more payload mass, volume capability and energy, is designed to be flexible and evolvable, and will open up new possibilities for payloads, including on the Moon, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. Robotic science missions.
SLS is expected to conduct its first test flight (for the launch of the Artemis 1 lunar mission) on September 2, 2022. At present, the SLS rocket has reached the Kennedy Space Center's 39B launch pad after a 10-hour, 4-mile transfer. Over the next few days, engineers and technicians will configure the launch system on the launch pad for the launch, currently aiming for no earlier than 12:48 ET on September 2.
