We're at the dawn of a new era for space exploration.
SLS liftoff ushers in a new erathat simulated a launch right up to the final moments of the countdown. Now, the mission still has a series of milestones to tick off the list, including rollout to the launch pad and a final training simulation.
NASA's SLS launch vehicle is currently in the VAB at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Three of the ten steel work platforms used by engineers to work on the rocket have been removed so far. Once all are removed, SLS can roll back to the launch pad once again for final pre-launch preparations. NASA also powered up the Orion capsule on July 30 for a final check. Yesterday, the space agency held a training event, during which it simulated the fueling process.
If all goes to plan, SLS will roll out of the VAB on August 18. It will signal the start of NASA's ambitious Artemis plans and its global collaboration with other space agencies to get humans back to the moon. Shortly afterward, it aims to establish a permanent presence on the moon with its lunar Gateway program. This will serve as a stepping stone to sending the first humans to Mars sometime in the 2030s or 2040s.
