NASA aims to launch next-generation rocket on debut flight in early 2022

India TV News  

NASA is aiming to fly its massive next-generation rocket, the Space Launch System, for the first time in February 2022, a critical test flight on the US space agency's journey to send people back to the Moon. Confirmation of the new target date, which was rumoured in August, comes a day after engineers fully stacked the SLS inside NASA's massive hangar at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. If the flight is successful, the SLS and Orion's next mission will be Artemis II, which will carry NASA astronauts on a similar trajectory around the Moon. Originally, NASA envisioned the SLS flying for the first time back in 2017, but its debut has been consistently pushed back again and again due to improper management and cost overruns.
