Washington: The US space agency, which is working on the “spacecraft of the future” for journey to Mars, has completed a successful review of facilities and ground support systems for the mega Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
After completing this milestone on its journey to Mars, NASA is ready to begin another phase of work on SLS where the next generation of astronauts will be sent to Mars and other deep-space destinations."NASA is developing and modernising the ground systems at Kennedy to safely integrate Orion with SLS, move the vehicle to the pad, and successfully launch it into space,” said Bill Hill, deputy associate administrator of NASA’s exploration systems development division.
"Modernising the ground systems for our journey to Mars also ensures long-term sustainability and affordability to meet future needs of the multi-use spaceport,” he added in a statement. Engineers and experts reviewed hundreds of documents as part of a comprehensive assessment.
