DESCRIPTION

Standing taller than the Statue of Liberty and with more thrust
than the mighty Saturn V, the NASA SLS (Space Launch System) is
ready to return humanity to the moon? and beyond! Designed to
make use of proven rocket technology and existing resources, the
NASA SLS uses modified Space Shuttle main engines for its central


core stage and Space Shuttle derived solid rockets for the
outboard boosters. The NASA SLS Block1 will generate 8.8 million
pounds of thrust at lift off. That's enough raw power to carry
the Orion crew vehicle, an upper stage booster, and four
astronauts all the way to lunar orbit and back.

SLS and Orion are key components of Project Artemis, the NASA
program to land the first woman and the next man on the moon
within the next five years. The NASA SLS is designed as a modular


system of components, stages, and payloads so it can fulfil
multiple roles in the course of Project Artemis. Subsequent Block


1B and Block 2 versions of the NASA SLS will launch landers and
cargo to the moon, and later to Mars.

The Estes 1:200 scale replica of this rocket portrays the Project


Artemis Block 1 configuration, the first in the proposed series
of heavy lift launch vehicles. Pre-assembled, pre-finished and
ready to launch, this highly detailed model realistically
reproduces the features and markings of America's next generation


rocket for deep space missions.

Launching your Estes NASA SLS model rocket couldn't be easier.
Prepare your rocket for flight by attaching the included
transparent fins and then loading with an Estes C6-3 engine. You
can expect spectacular launches up to 200 feet and then a
graceful return to Earth under a colorful 18-inch parachute. This


rocket looks great whether counting down on the launch pad or
displayed on your shelf. Between launches, show off your Estes
NASA SLS with its own custom clear fins that can double as a
display stand.

WHAT YOU NEED TO LAUNCH (sold separately): Estes Porta-Pad II
Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller, Estes model
rocket engines, starters and recovery wadding. Four 1.5V high
quality AA alkaline batteries are also required for launch
controller (not included).
