The Space Launch System (SLS) is a powerful rocket developed by NASA to support deep space exploration missions. It is designed to carry astronauts and cargo beyond low Earth orbit, with a focus on missions to the Moon and eventually Mars. The SLS features a modular design, allowing for different configurations depending on the mission requirements. The first flight of the SLS, known as Artemis I, is part of the broader Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon. The rocket is equipped with advanced technology and safety features, making it a key component in humanity's efforts to explore the solar system.
