The proposed Europa Lander, formerly part of the Europa Clipper mission, was proposed to be launched aboard an SLS in the mid-2010s. [25] The joint NASA-ESA Titan Saturn System Mission proposal envisioned the SLS as an option for launch. [26] On 10 February 2021, it was announced that Europa Clipper would not launch aboard an SLS.

The Space Launch System (SLS) is an American super heavy-lift expendable launch vehicle used by NASA. As the primary launch vehicle of the Artemis Moon landing program, SLS is designed to launch the crewed Orion spacecraft on a trans-lunar trajectory. The first (and so far only) SLS launch was the uncrewed Artemis I, which took place on 16 ...
Vehicle: Space Launch System (SLS) Block 1; Launch Site: Kennedy Space Center, Launch Complex 39B; Duration: Approximately 8 minutes to reach initial orbit; Trajectory: The SLS will launch Orion into a low Earth orbit (LEO) for a very short period of time, then fire again to place Orion in a highly-eccentric orbit with a period of about 24 hours.
NASA launched the first SLS on the program's maiden flight in 2021, sending an unpiloted Orion capsule on a looping flight around the moon and back. The second SLS is being prepared for launch in ...
New launch vehicles will also come online next year, including Rocket Lab’s Neutron and Blue Origin’s New Glenn. These will pose a direct challenge to the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, although ...
Artemis IV is a planned mission of the NASA-led Artemis program.The mission will include the fourth use of a Space Launch System (SLS) launch vehicle, will send an Orion spacecraft with four astronauts to the Lunar Gateway space station, install a new module on the Gateway, and conduct the second lunar landing of the Artemis program.
Starship and its Super Heavy Booster will produce nearly twice the thrust of Nasa’s Space Launch System (SLS), which is currently the most powerful rocket ever made.
GPS III-7, originally scheduled to launch on a ULA Vulcan rocket, was reassigned to the Falcon 9 following uncertainties in Vulcan's readiness. As a result, GPS III-10, originally planned to launch on the Falcon 9, will now launch on Vulcan.
