The mega moon rocket is one of the most impressive space launch systems ever built.
, four of which sit at the bottom of the SLS' core stage. The RS-25 was originally used to launch the space shuttle, and NASA currently has 16 of them on hand to use for different SLS missions. These veteran pieces of space hardware have been overhauled with new computer controllers and upgrades to ensure they can handle the higher performance demands of a mega moon rocket launch.according to Space.
. The RS-25s will be supplemented by two solid rocket boosters attached to the side of the core booster. Each of these stands 177 ft tall — about the height of a 17-story building — and is capable of delivering 3.6 million pounds of thrust, . The boosters will burn approximately 6 US tons of polybutadiene acrylonitrile propellant every second, and they are the largest and most powerful solid boosters ever built.
Under its Block 1 configuration, the SLS' engines will provide an equivalent horsepower to 160,000 Corvette engines,. With Block 2, this will be upped to an astounding 9.2 million pounds of thrust, 20% more than the Saturn V and the equivalent horsepower of 208,000 Corvette engines.

In cold polar skies, NASA rocket will watch an active aurora turn up the heatIf you see the northern lights overhead, chances are you are in a chilly, polar climate. But the cold-weather delights—also known as aurora borealis—high above you are actually an important source of heat. A new NASA mission hopes to fly through an active aurora to study this energy exchange process up close. The launch window for Ion-Neutral Coupling during Active Aurora, or INCAA mission, opens at the Poker Flat Research Range in Poker Flat, Alaska, on March 23.
