What is known
SLS is the most powerful rocket in the world.At the end of last year, she launched Orion into space, the largest spacecraft in history. It flew around the moon and returned to Earth, landing within a radius of 4 km from the target. Thermal insulation was damaged during the return, but NASA declared the mission a success.
The space agency believes that the second lunarthe mission, Artemis II, will proceed as scheduled, i.e. in November 2024. If it succeeds, then in 2025 American astronauts will land on the moon for the first time since 1972. But first, NASA wants to install new space hardware on both Orion and SLS.

Mobile phone was damaged during launchrocket launcher. Specialists have already repaired one of the two damaged elevators and are preparing to strengthen the second. You also need to solve the issue of nitrogen supply, because. during the November launch, the system was broken. This led to corrosion of the pneumatic lines, since it was not possible to supply water in time and wash off the residues that cause corrosion.
The scientists also want to improve the thermal insulationlayer. Although NASA stated that the level of destruction of thermal insulation was within acceptable limits. The destruction of the shell would not harm the astronauts if they were aboard the Orion spacecraft.
