History

Allowing a new generation of the earth’s population to witness the development and achievements of a NASA space program, the Space Launch System is their latest and most powerful rocket launch system, intended to take mankind to the moon and beyond. 

The latest generation of super-heavy-lift launch vehicle, to the uninitiated, SLS and the Orion spacecraft capsule almost appears to be a combination of Apollo and Space Shuttle technologies, however, this incredible program represents the pinnacle of engineering technology taking man deeper into space than ever before. 

Blasting off for an unmanned maiden launch on 16th November 2022, the first manned launch is planned for 2025, when the Orion capsule will embark on a lunar flyby.
