NASA's SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM REFERENCE GUIDE (V2 - August, 2022): NASA Artemis Program From The Moon To Mars

* Paperback Version - 86 Pages - FULL COLOR *From The Moon To MarsDiscover the amazing technology and details of the new Artemis I rocket system called the Space Launch System (SLS).This beautifully illustrated guide shows all the details and primary systems of the entire SLS system, it's features, and it's design agility to be reconfigured for multiple uses into the future and more!Overview:Meet the Space Launch System rocket, the Orion crew spacecraft, and Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. These technologies are making a new generation of missions to the Moon – the Artemis Generation – possible. Along with the Gateway and the Human Landing System, NASA is preparing to send more astronauts, conduct more science, and explore more of the Moon than ever before.SLS is the rocket that will launch Orion and its crew to lunar orbit. While the initial configuration, the Block 1 rocket for Artemis I, will launch with 8.8 million lbs. of thrust (more than even the Saturn V), future variants will be even more powerful. Sending astronauts to the Moon 239,000 miles away – one thousand times farther than the space station in low-Earth orbit – is an inherently risky and dangerous undertaking.We are proud of the extensive testing, from component to entire vehicle, that has gone into making SLS the safest, most reliable rocket for human missions that NASA has ever built. And the Artemis I test flight gives us a chance to test out all the systems in deep space, as well as our procedures on the ground, before we take the next giant leap and once again send astronauts to the Moon.So, why build SLS? So the world can see a new generation of bootprints in lunar regolith. To advance from a 20th-century Moon shot to a 21st-century Moon stay. To build, with our partners, not just a rocket, but a platform for human missions to the Moon and science missions to explore the solar system, like those of us staring at the stars and heavens have always dreamed of. Why build SLS? To find out not only what’s out there but what’s in us.Enjoy going through this beautifully illustrated book from cover to cover as you discover the WHY and HOW of the SLS system and the choices made by the NASA scientists to do the heavy lifting for the entire Artemis program, now and in years to come.Scroll up and click that Add to Cart button and get started!
