Space Launch System: NASA's megarocket for Artemis moon missions
The four liquid-propellant engines at the base of each rocket, combined with solid-rocket boosters, will push the SLS into orbit during its 8-minute climb toward space. Like the engines, the solid-propellant boosters were qualified by the space shuttle program, though they've been modified to work with SLS. As technology evolves, the solid-rocket boosters will be swapped out for advanced boosters.
The June 28, 2016 booster engine test for NASA’s Space Launch System rocket was a success! The second and final qualification motor was set ablaze outside Orbital ATK's test facilities in Promontory, Utah. Although the first mission won't be carrying people, SLS won't exactly be empty. When the rocket launches, it will carry more than a dozen
"The second configuration of SLS, known as Block 1B, will be the workhorse of the proving ground phase of NASA's journey to Mars,"."The rocket will carry crew and exploration systems tens of thousands of miles beyond the moon to demonstrate new capabilities that will enable us to then move outward toward the Red Planet."
