Okay, space fans. The moment is almost here. NASA is about to launch its next-generation rocket for the first time and send it hurtling out beyond the Moon. It\u2019s going to be a wild time, but honestly, there\u2019s been a lot going on here on Earth, too \u2014 and if you\u2019re anything like me, you might be in the market for a quick refresher on what exactly is going down when NASA\u2019s next big thing blasts off. <\/p>\n

Consider this your SLS cheat sheet as NASA gears up for its big launch on August 29th. <\/p>\n

What is SLS? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

It stands for Space Launch System. <\/p>\n

That seems like a very boring name. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It is. But it is also extremely functional, seeing as it refers to a system for launching things into space. <\/p>\n

What kinds of things can SLS launch? <\/strong><\/p>\n

So many things! This version of SLS has four big rocket engines and two solid-state boosters and can carry about 27 metric tons<\/a> up to the general vicinity of the Moon. That\u2019s more than the space shuttle<\/a> could carry to low earth orbit but less than the Apollo-era Saturn V rocket could carry<\/a> to the Moon. Future versions of SLS will be able to haul even more. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Whoa, how will it do that? <\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to light up like a 5.75 million-pound firework. Those boosters \u2014 the twin white cylinders on either side of the rocket \u2014 are 17 stories high and are packed with a solid rocket fuel called polybutadiene acrylonitrile. They burn through six tons<\/em> of this fuel every second, according to NASA<\/a>. In case you were wondering what this is in relation to jumbo jets, NASA has you covered. Each one \u201cgenerates more thrust than 14 four-engine jumbo commercial airliners.\u201d The two boosters will generate 75 percent of the boom that gets the rocket and its cargo off the ground.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s only part of the rocket\u2019s power. There\u2019s also the 212-foot-tall core stage<\/a> \u2014 the big orange part of the rocket. On launch day, it will be packed with 537,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and 196,000 of liquid oxygen, which will fuel the four engines at the bottom. <\/p>\n

All of that fuel and engineering translates to a boatload of power. Within 8.5 minutes of launch, SLS and Orion capsule that it\u2019s carrying will be traveling at speeds of around 17,000 miles per hour.<\/p>\n

What is the Orion capsule? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

I know, another <\/em>name. So, SLS will be carrying a spacecraft called Orion. (In pictures, it\u2019s the white part at the top of the rocket<\/a>.) It is not related in any way to the Orion gaming gadget<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Orion is designed for missions beyond Earth\u2019s orbit, with potential destinations of the Moon or Mars. It\u2019s got an extremely shiny look<\/a> that will help it cope with extreme temperatures in space, a next-generation heat shield to cope with reentering the atmosphere, and a launch abort system<\/a> that could blast astronauts to safety if anything went wrong during launch. In space, it can support four people<\/a> on a mission for 21 days. <\/p>\n

Orion flew to space before in a test flight in 2014<\/a>. It\u2019s been through a lot of testing since then in preparation for this next flight, which has been delayed many, many<\/em> times. (More on those delays later.) Back in 2020, it looked like there might be a chance that it would get delayed yet again when some engineers discovered a problem<\/a> with a power component for the spacecraft. Trying to fix it would have taken months, and they have backup systems available, so they will be flying the spacecraft as-is<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Are there going to be people inside Orion? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nope. There will be three mannequins strapped inside, which look varying degrees of terrifying. One is named Commander Moonikin Campos<\/a>, and it will wear one of the flight suits that astronauts will wear on future missions. It will be accompanied by the limbless Helga and Zohar, which will carry radiation detectors to figure out how much radiation astronauts might be exposed to during a trip to the Moon. Zohar will be wearing a vest that can protect against radiation. Helga won\u2019t. Good luck, Helga. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

One of the big reasons that there won\u2019t be astronauts on board is that this entire launch is one giant test flight. It\u2019s the first time that the SLS is having its big space debut, and putting people on a rocket before seeing if it can actually work feels like an extremely bad choice. (NASA very briefly considered doing exactly that<\/a>, then decided against it<\/a>.) Instead, Artemis I will be all about testing how well Orion and SLS work and pushing them to their limits before people get on board. <\/p>\n

What is Artemis I?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Oh boy, yet another name! Artemis I is the mission that SLS and Orion are going on. Its primary goal is to make sure that Orion can work in space and that it can deliver astronauts safely back to Earth after the mission is over. As a bonus, it will fly farther from Earth than any spacecraft designed for humans<\/a> has ever flown before, reaching a distance of 280,000 miles away from Earth. <\/p>\n

During the course of its 42-day mission, it will travel a grand total of about 1.3 million miles, heading out to the Moon, then entering orbit around the Moon for several days before returning back to Earth. The maps of this mission look like an extremely large and very messy figure 8. If the launch goes as planned on August 29th, it should splash back down on Earth on October 10th. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Are there other Artemis missions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yep! If all goes well with Artemis I, NASA will move on to Artemis II<\/a>, which will be the first flight of the SLS \/ Orion combo with crew on board. It\u2019s also the first crewed mission back to the Moon since the Apollo era, but the astronauts onboard won\u2019t land on the Moon \u2014 they\u2019ll just orbit for a while, then return to Earth.<\/p>\n

The ultimate goal is for NASA to land the first woman on the Moon during the Artemis III mission, which is still in the works. In August, NASA announced several potential landing sites<\/a> near the Moon\u2019s South Pole.<\/p>\n

Yeah, that\u2019s ringing a bell. How long has this been in the works? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Artemis program<\/a>? Since 2019, when then-Vice President Mike Pence announced that NASA was headed back to the Moon and would get there by 2024. <\/p>\n

Fun fact! It got its name because in mythology, Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo, and there is just a ton of nostalgia for the Apollo missions, for better or for worse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So are they going to make it back to the Moon by 2024?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Absolutely not. They\u2019re shooting for 2025<\/a> at this point, but that\u2019s still pretty ambitious. <\/p>\n

What about the SLS project? I feel like I\u2019ve been hearing about that for longer. <\/strong><\/p>\n

You definitely have. Its origins date back to around 2010, when the US was shifting away from the space shuttle and toward other modes of space transportation. Parts of it started out as a project called Constellation that was canceled for being way too expensive. Then it was revived as SLS in 2010, with the goal of launching in 2017. That slipped to 2018<\/a> and kept slipping, as the project became notoriously delayed<\/a> and over budget<\/a>. <\/p>\n

For a full look at the history, check out our story here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But\u2026 they\u2019re ready to go now? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Looks like it! Even though their dress rehearsal was cut short in June<\/a> due to a hydrogen leak, engineers think that they\u2019ve fixed all last-minute to-do\u2019s for the rocket, and NASA has decided that it is a go for launch<\/a>. <\/p>\n

What else will be on board? <\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to Helga, Zohar, and Commander Moonikin Campos, there will be a few other science experiments aboard Artemis I. During the mission, the spacecraft will deploy 10 small satellites called CubeSats. Some will map ice on the lunar surface, one will deploy a giant solar sail and head off to an asteroid, and one will attempt to land on the Moon<\/a>. On board, there will also be a science experiment that will carry yeast where no yeast has gone before<\/a> in an attempt to study deep-space radiation. <\/p>\n

Also inside the capsule will be a plush sheep named Shaun<\/a>. Also, Snoopy. Both Shaun and Snoopy will serve as zero-gravity indicators<\/a>, floating around Orion once it reaches microgravity. <\/p>\n

When is the SLS launch happening? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

August 29th at 8:33AM ET. We\u2019ll see you there!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
