Test statyczny silnika rakiety NASA Space Launch System Solid Rocket Booster

Orbital ATK’s rocket propulsion manufacturing facility, Promontory, Utah

Sitting horizontally at a test cell at Orbital ATK’s rocket propulsion manufacturing facility in Promontory, Utah, the solid rocket motor will fire at 11:05 a.m. EDT (1505 GMT) for slightly more than two minutes.

Burning 5.5 tons of powdered aluminum fuel, oxidizer and binding agents per second, the rocket motor is a test unit of a booster that will help power the Space Launch System off the ground.

The SLS is NASA’s heavy-lift launcher under development to hoist astronauts aboard the Orion crew capsule on missions into deep space, first to the vicinity of the moon and eventually to Mars. The first test flight of the new rocket, without astronauts on-board, is scheduled for late 2018 from launch pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

A mission with astronauts inside the Orion spacecraft will launch on the second SLS flight as soon as 2021.

Two of the boosters will provide more than 75 percent of the rocket’s total thrust in the first two minutes of flight. Four hydrogen-fueled RS-25 engines — upgraded units that flew on space shuttle missions — will power the 27.6-foot-wide (8.4-meter) SLS core stage.
