LET'S LIGHT THIS CANDLE
Hey Space Placers!
Look at this picture:
These are four upgraded Space Shuttle Main Engines powered 21 different Space Shuttle missions. Now designated RS-25, these are the engines that will power the first stage of the very first Space Launch System (SLS) to be launched.
Called Exploration Flight-1, the SLS will put an unmanned Orion spacecraft into orbit around the Earth. Upon checkout of all systems the SLS upper stage will conduct a translunar orbital insertion (TLI) burn that will put Orion on course for its 25-day mission.
Just writing this makes me excited...NASA launching its new rocket and manned spacecraft to the Moon.
Wow.......
I am hoping to get to see these 4 engines light on the test stand and on the launch pad. If I do, you will see it too ;-)
