into space than ever before, create high-quality jobs here at home,
and provide the cornerstone for America's future human space
exploration efforts.

NASA announced plans for the development of the SLS in September. It
will carry NASA's Orion spacecraft, cargo, equipment and science
experiments to space -- providing a safe, affordable and sustainable
means of reaching the moon, asteroids and other destinations in the
solar system.
