The Space Launch System (SLS) is NASA’s next-generation heavy-lift rocket, designed to carry astronauts and cargo beyond Earth’s orbit as part of missions to the Moon, Mars, and deeper into space. Built to deliver more thrust than any rocket before it, the SLS is a central component of NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the lunar surface and establish a long-term presence there. Research and development around the SLS involve advances in propulsion, materials science, and mission architecture, reflecting humanity’s renewed ambition for deep space exploration.
