下一步是测试将人类送上月球的火箭

On Jan.1, 2020, ​​NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted: “Making progress! The massive @NASA_SLS core stage is moving to Building 110 at the Michoud Assembly Facility in Louisiana. There it will be readied for the Pegasus barge and its trip to @NASAStennis. Thank you to the @NASA team for working through the holidays!”

NASA’s powerful new rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), will send astronauts a quarter million miles from Earth to lunar orbit. The agency is committed to landing American astronauts, including the first woman and the next man, on the Moon by 2024. Through the agency’s Artemis lunar exploration program, we will use innovative new technologies and systems to explore more of the Moon than ever before.

2020年1月1日，NASA局长吉姆·布莱恩斯汀在推特上写道：“取得进展！@NASA_SLS的大型核心阶段正在搬到路易斯安那州米却德装配厂的110号楼。那里将为飞马驳船及其旅行做好准备 @NASAStennis。感谢@NASA团队在假期期间的工作！”

NASA强大的新型火箭，即太空发射系统（SLS），将使宇航员从地球到月球轨道飞行25万英里。该机构致力于在2024年之前让美国宇航员登陆月球，其中包括第一位女性宇航员和第二位男性宇航员。通过该机构的阿尔特弥斯月球探索计划，我们将使用创新的新技术和系统探索月球的面积比以往任何时候都要大。
