The endeavor will involve the Orion spacecraft carrying its first crew toward the moon after being launched by NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The Orion will come within 80 miles of the lunar surface before circling the moon and returning home. This week, NASA shared a time-lapse...
NASA’s original plan was to launch the SLS in 2016, but numerous delays have pushed back the timeline. On March 18, the agency announced that the rocket was finally in place on its launchpad at Kennedy Space Center for the final test before launch: a wet dress rehearsal. ...
The roughly 10-day-long mission is tentatively scheduled to launch in April 2026. Artemis 2 will use the huge Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket and Orion spacecraft to launch the crew on the lunar flyby mission. The astronauts and mission controllers will collect data on Orion and the ...
the “legendary” rocket is called Big F**king Rocket (BFR). The massive launch vehicle is 30-feet wide and carries 150 metric tons into low Earth orbit. In contrast with NASA’s SLS, SpaceX’s BFR is definitely running first place in the race with regard to capacity and cost efficienc...
NASA has successfully launched its next-generation SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft on a test flight to the moon, ushering in a new era of space exploration. Packing 8.8 million pounds of thrust at launch, the world’s most powerful operational rocket blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center ...
NASA completed a full-scale booster test for NASA’s Space Launch System rocket in Promontory, Utah, on September 2. NASA and Northrop Grumman, the SLS booster lead contractor, will use data from the test to evaluate the motor’s performance using potential new materials and processes that can...
NASA's Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket sits on a launchpad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on November 3, 2022, ahead of the launch of the Artemis I mission, a successful uncrewed test mission completed last year. Sign up for CNN’s Wonder Theory science newsletter.Explore the uni...
