👁 NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS), the most powerful and capable rocket NASA has ever built, will send missions farther and faster through space. SLS, along with NASA’s Orion spacecraft, the Gateway in lunar orbit and, the human landing system are the agency’s backbone for deep space exploration and the Artemis lunar program. SLS is the only launch vehicle that can send Orion, astronauts and supplies to the Moon in a single mission. For the first mission of SLS and Orion, Artemis I, the rocket is capable of sending more than 27 metric tons (59,000 pounds) to the Moon. As the SLS evolves, it will have even more power and will be capable of lofting even heavier payloads to orbit.
Demonstration Motor-1 (DM-1) is the first full-scale ground test of the evolved five-segment solid rocket motor of NASA’s SLS (Space...
👁 An infographic titled “What is DM-1” offers a detailed visual and textual breakdown of the Demonstration Motor-1 test at Northrop Grumman’s facility in Promontory, Utah. The left side features a Q&A section that explains the purpose of the event and outlines key testing objectives, such as evaluating upgraded booster components for NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System). On the right, the infographic highlights the critical role SLS boosters play during Artemis missions, emphasizing their immense thrust and engineering significance. At the bottom right, a silhouette of the state of Utah includes an arrow pinpointing the location of Promontory, visually grounding the event’s geographic setting.
NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) solid rocket boosters are the largest, most powerful solid propellant boosters to ever fly. Standing...
👁 This infographic, titled “Booster Separation Motors on the SLS,” provides a visual and textual overview of how and where the booster separation motors function on NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System). On the left side, explanatory text outlines the motors’ purpose and placement on the solid rocket boosters. At the center, a detailed illustration of the SLS highlights the motor locations with directional arrows. Below this, a close-up diagram offers a clearer view of the booster separation motors’ design and positioning. On the right, an illustrated scene shows the SLS ascending into space, with the solid rocket boosters detaching from the core stage. Two circular insets zoom in on the booster’s top (frustum) and bottom (AFT skirt), indicating the precise locations of the separation motors.

👁 NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket’s ICPS (interim cryogenic propulsion stage), with its single RL10 engine, produces 24,750 pounds of thrust to provide in-space propulsion for the agency’s Artemis II and III missions, the first crewed missions under Artemis. Like the mega rocket’s core stage, the ICPS uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to power its RL10 engine, manufactured by Aerojet Rocketdyne, an L3Harris Technologies company. The ICPS is built by ULA (United Launch Alliance) and Boeing. In addition to providing in-space propulsion, the ICPS also contains avionics to fly the mission after core stage separation until NASA’s Orion spacecraft separates from the ICPS to venture to the Moon.
