This week marks one year of progress since the formation of the Space Launch System (SLS), the United States' next step in human exploration efforts. On Sept. 14, 2011, NASA announced a new capability for America's space program: a heavy-lift rocket designed to carry the Orion spacecraft and send astronauts farther into space than ever before. And now, one year later, NASA has made swift progress improving on existing hardware, testing and developing new components, and paving the way for a new launch vehicle. The SLS will make human exploration of deep space a reality and create new possibilities for scientific discovery. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/ 09/120912191754.htm Read all about it!
