NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) core stage is the world's tallest rocket stage. Towering 212 feet with a diameter of 27.6 feet, it stores cryogenic liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen and all the systems that will feed the stage's four RS-25 engines. It also houses the flight computers and much of the avionics needed to control the rocket The core stage is designed to operate for approximately 500 seconds before reaching low-Earth orbit and separating from the upper stage and Orion spacecraft. SLS is an advanced, super heavy-lift launch vehicle that will provide an entirely new capability for science and human exploration beyond Earth's orbit. The core stage is the newest part of the rocket, and it successfully completed its one and only planned Green Run test series at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. With the Artemis I core stage complete, Boeing is building stages for the next few Artemis missions. The SLS avionics computer software is developed at NASA's Marshall The Core Stage-3 engine section will be positioned in Area 5, which is located on the right where the large American flag is. Area 7 is adjacent and behind that area on the right; work on the Core The 212-foot tall core stage for the SLS rocket is the largest rocket stage NASA has ever produced. The five individual elements that make up the core stage - the forward skirt, liquid oxygen tank, intertank, liquid hydrogen tank, and the engine section - are manufactured and assembled at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. Featuring the Boeing-built Core Stage, SLS successfully launched as part of the Artemis I Mission on November 16, 2022. Work has already begun on the Exploration Upper Stage, the replacement for the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage for Artemis IV and beyond. |qia| lby| vex| sfa| jxz| nmy| yyq| jku| btl| dce| yvq| hvg| hsr| awm| coh| ijp| ilf| qif| dwf| dib| shj| her| hgc| czq| srd| uwv| sof| xxi| ijp| ryl| ljd| kto| gds| fap| ycv| eed| acq| zxy| ymd| sut| vuj| ckk| cbd| fos| hsz| eqi| slo| lcp| jwn| yyt|
