NASA test of Boosters for the Artemis Rocket!
We successfully test fired a solid rocket booster designed for NASA’s Space Launch System on July 21 at the Promontory, Utah, facility!
Northrop Grumman manufactures the five-segment solid rocket boosters for the NASA Space Launch System (SLS). These are the largest human-rated solid rocket boosters ever built for flight.
Each motor consists of five rocket motor segments, thrust vector control and an aft exit cone assembly; it is 153 feet long and 12 feet in diameter. The entire booster (including nose cap, frustum, and forward and aft skirts) are approximately 177 feet long. Of the booster’s total weight of 1.6 million pounds, propellant accounts for 1.5 million pounds.
Northrop Grumman conducts full-scale static tests of its motors to qualify upgrades and to ensure flawless operation. A number of quality inspections are also performed throughout the booster’s manufacture, including X-ray, ensuring it will perform exactly as predicted.
