Question

What is the designation of the rocket that will transport the crew to the Moon?
  • SLS
  • Saturn V
  • Delta IV
  • None of the above
Answer- A
On Tuesday night, NASA's Artemis 1 moon rocket, previously known as Exploration Mission-1, made its return to the launch pad, taking a crucial step towards a historic lunar mission.

NASA plans to launch the brand-new Space Launch System (SLS) with the Orion spacecraft, intended for astronaut use, on August 29th.

This would be a significant achievement for the space agency, as it works towards bringing humans back to the Moon's surface, a feat not accomplished since 1972.

The massive SLS rocket is designed to take the crew capsule further around the Moon than any previous spacecraft built for human use, before splashing down into the Pacific Ocean upon return to Earth.
