Two other organizations, SpaceX and the European Space Agency are also developing rockets having such capabilities. But it is being said NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) will be the most powerful rocket ever made and the best part is it has been fully funded till its completion.
NASA shared about the SLS that it will stand 322 feet tall. It will produce 12% more thrust than NASA’s Saturn V rocket and will take four astronauts at one go to deep-space on board NASA’s Orion spacecraft.
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.
