Space Launch System (SLS). The biggest, most capable rocket built for entirely new human exploration missions beyond earth's orbit. Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB). If their heat energy could be converted to electric power, the SRB firing for two minutes would produce over one million kilowatt hours of power, enough to supply power to almost 50,000 homes for a full day. It burns 5 tons of propellant per second. Two of these boosters will be used to lift the new Space Launch system into orbit with astronauts or payload. #slsfiredup #journeytomars @nasa @nasa_sls
