NASA plans to show the world's largest rocket, designed for the flight to the Moon and Mars. NASA has shown an animation of a Space Launch System (SLS) as high as 320 feet, which may be the biggest after the Saturn V rocket that has a height 363 feet. According to NASA, the new rocket designed to carry out flights in low Earth orbit, and then to the Moon, asteroids and even to Mars.
According to NASA, the initial version of the rocket will be able to lift 77 tons of cargo to low Earth orbit, using the technology development results from the Apollo era rockets. "This is what makes the project becomes less expensive, and most importantly, the Congress of the United States has budgeted a 9 percent from the summer of NASA's budget for this project.
Two rocket thrusters on the side of the main rocket was still using the same technology as the space shuttle, only slightly higher. Besides the five-fueled engines 'hydrogen / oxygen' rocket engines are also the same as that used by the shuttle. It also used the J-2X engine, the engine is also used by the rockets that flew in 1960 and 1970 era.
Although there is no special mission planned for this new rocket, but the NASA said that they will pilot rocket in 2017, and started to launch officially in 2021. One purpose of this is rocket flight to an asteroid in 2025. However, for a period of time is certainly much happens in the financial sector. Then there will also be strong competition from the private sector.
Currently NASA wants to continue to develop the capability of the rockets that have not named them. Perhaps also the U.S. space agency will hold a competition for designers and engineers to develop the giant rocket, weighing 130 tonnes.
