NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket ignites with immense force | Beyond the Stars

A fresh look at SLS 🚀 We used our supercomputers and wind tunnels here at our Silicon Valley center to simulate airflow the Space Launch System rocket will experience during ascent. Notice anything new? Flanking each booster is a strake to improve the rocket’s airflow and stability. For the Artemis II mission, a pair of these strakes will be added to the core stage of SLS to smooth vibrations. Using supercomputers to visualize this addition helps engineers design stronger and more efficient str
