the Space Launch System (or SLS) is such a complicated and powerful rocket that NASA has had to try it part by part. In the last trial, conducted by the US space agency in Utah, NASA tested not only the potential and drive of one of the propellers of the rocket, but also its resistance, keep on and running for more than two minutes, as . if it were a real takeoff that was carrying out the rocket
the video of the test, codenamed “QM-2″ has already been published by NASA. the umbrage consisted of a total of 82 different tests over the last few hours, but of course the time the glorious power was the most exciting for members of NASA workers and the public who came to watch the trial, being located several kilometers away to avoid any danger.
NASA has in its plans that the SLS carried out its first flight in 2018, with the ambition to be the rocket that will allow astronauts and generally humanity, leaving the border of the moon in the near future, including, of course, our first trip to Mars.
the temperature inside the propeller remained constant at about 3300 degrees Celsius while it was on, and during the test consumed the equivalent of 5 tons and a half of solid fuel per second. [NASA]
