Currently, NASA has been working on the details of the project. The rocket will be having two boosters and each of them will be around 1.3 million pounds in weight.
On June 9, NASA’s Marshall Spaceflight Center has released a video showing how the SLS will look like when it will blast off for the first time. NASA said that the first un-crew test flight of the rocket has been scheduled to take place by November 2018.
