Orion is NASA’s new human spacecraft for deep-space missions that will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain astronauts during their missions and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. SLS is a super heavy-lift launch vehicle with unprecedented power and capabilities that provides the foundation for human exploration beyond Earth’s orbit. on Monday, November 14.Īrtemis I is the first integrated flight test of NASA’s Space Launch System ( SLS) rocket, an uncrewed Orion spacecraft, and the ground systems at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
