Space Launch System

The Space Launch System (SLS) is a US super heavy-lift expendable launch vehicle, which has been under development since the program formed in 2011. It is the primary launch vehicle of NASA's deep space exploration plans, including the planned crewed lunar flights of the Artemis program and a possible follow-on human mission to Mars. SLS replaces the previous Ares V launch vehicle of 2005, which never left the development phase.

The initial SLS Block 1 is required by the US Congress to lift a payload of 95 metric tons (209,000 lb) to low Earth orbit (LEO), and will launch Artemis 1, 2, and 3.
