The head of NASA, Jim Bridenstine, stated, this Monday (9), that the initial stage of the first example of the SLS launch rocket has been completed.
This 60-meter-tall orange equipment has four engines and the capacity to store 2.7 million liters of liquid hydrogen and oxygen.
The role of the SLS rocket will be to push the inhabited Orion capsule at a high enough speed so that it can separate from Earth's gravity and move toward the Moon, reports the newspaper Correio Braziliense.
The NASA administrator reiterated that the Artemis 3 mission, which will once again send astronauts to set foot on lunar soil, will be carried out in five years, as requested by Donald Trump, president of the United States.
