18 SLS 8000 supports v1.1

Hello Lego friends,

 

A new era of human space exploration for NASA dawns with the Space Launch System, or SLS. This super heavy-lift launch vehicle will take the Orion spacecraft and its crew of up to four astronauts beyond Earth’s orbit, enabling missions to the Moon, Mars and deep-space destinations.

 

Designed to reach a record-breaking speed of Mach 23 and rated for payloads of 26 metric tons, this variant will complete the first three Artemis Lunar missions.
