The first flight test of the SLS will feature a configuration for a 70-metric-ton (77-ton) lift capacity and carry an uncrewed Orion spacecraft beyond low-Earth orbit to test the performance of the integrated system. As the SLS evolves, it will provide an...The Next Giant Leap
Space Launch System, or SLS, begins a bolder mission for NASA and the world — a new era of exploration unlike anything we’re done before. Able to carry more payload than the space shuttle and generate more thrust at launch than the Saturn V, SLS will send...A Bolder Mission

“This is all the space for you and your three closest friends,” says Brad Holcomb, a project manager at Lockheed Martin’s Exploration Development Laboratory in Houston, as I settle into the commander’s seat on the low-fidelity mockup of the Orion capsule. Having...Inside the Rocket Engine Powering the Future of Space Exploration
There’s a big misconception these days that NASA isn’t doing anything but sending astronauts up to the International Space Station on Russian Soyuz spacecraft. That’s far from the truth. There are a handful of amazing planetary missions underway, and on the manned...Afterburner w/Bill Whittle– Apogee: America Needs Another Great Challenge
Bill Whittle reminds us that it’s been 45 years since man walked on the moon for the first time, and asks the question, “Have we been challenged since?” He states, “We tamed a continent, we conquered the skies, and we did fly to the moon–don’t let us, as a...NASA Begins Engine Test Project for Space Launch System Rocket
Engineers have taken a crucial step in preparing to test parts of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket that will send humans to new destinations in the solar system. They installed on Thursday an RS-25 engine on the A-1 Test Stand at the agency’s...Orion Monthly Accomplishments
With less than six months until its first trip to space, NASA’s Orion spacecraft continues taking shape at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Following the completion of the heat shield installation, the NASA/Lockheed Martin team stacked the Orion crew...Space Talk
@jroman7 @Erdayastronaut @DistroKid It’s not a YouTube issue, it’s actually a great tool to protect creators, but it’s @DistroKid not being responsible.
@mars_stu @NASAJPL @NASAMars They'll be downlinked when the spacecraft is able to re-point to Earth following its science observations. Will begin likely NET later this evening US time, and take place over a few days.
