The SLS Boosters: Two Minutes of Pure Awesome

Towering at 17 stories tall and flanking either side of NASA’s mega Moon rocket with the iconic NASA “Worm” logo, the two solid rocket boosters for NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket operate in parallel with the rocket’s four RS-25 engines to send the Artemis missions to the Moon. The twin, five-segment solid rocket boosters produce more than 75% of total thrust at liftoff, making them the most powerful boosters ever built for spaceflight. NASA and Northrop Grumman, the lead SLS booster contractor, manufacture the boosters. Watch this video to learn more about how these boosters help power the SLS rocket’s bold missions into deep space.
