The first SLS, for Artemis I, launched an Orion spacecraft into a lunar orbit on a test flight in fall 2022, [154] and NASA and Boeing are constructing the next three rockets for Artemis II, Artemis III, and Artemis IV. [155]
Artemis I, the first integrated flight of SLS and Orion, uses the Block 1 configuration, which stands 322 feet, taller than the Statue of Liberty, and weighs 5.75 million lbs. During launch and ascent, SLS will produce 8.8 million lbs. of maximum thrust, 15 percent more thrust than the Saturn V rocket.
NASA needs a powerful rocket to carry out such a long-distance mission. The current iteration of SLS, called Block 1, stands taller than the Statue of Liberty at 322 feet, about 30 stories.
