NASA’s Orion spacecraft, the agency responsible for the work of the United States’ space program, successfully returned returned.
NASA National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationUS-based $ 24 billion developed Space Launch System or in short SLS after many unfortunate delays to take off with the rocket model 16 November performed without any problems. With this take-off, which did not host any astronauts in front of the SLS (Instead, there are mannequins equipped with sensors.) 20 billion dollars The Orion spacecraft has embarked on a great journey.
Together with the spacecraft, which traveled a total of 2.2 million kilometers in this space, it went on a journey of about 26 days and toured around the Moon. NASA, just now “SLS” thrown with Orion capsule (Equipped with heat shields to withstand temperatures of 2,750 degrees) brought back to Earth as he wished. Here, after re-entry into the atmosphere, a smooth landing on the ocean was made with three large parachutes.

Before that, Orion made a splash with the photo you see at the top of the page.

SLS, NASA full at take-off as described by 8.8 million pounds can generate thrust. In this respect SpaceX Falcon Heavyfrom and again made in the United States Saturn Vstronger than SLSits strength is basically four RS-25 (There are also extra thrusters for total power) from the engine. NASA wants to send astronauts to the Moon again in 2025 as part of the Artemis program. NASA’s most powerful rocket ever built Space Launch System, It is also in an important position in establishing a colony on Mars, one of the biggest dreams of mankind.
