Erika Alvarez is the Lead Systems Engineer for NASA's Space Launch System — so what does a lead systems engineer do? Get the details and learn more about SLS in our newest episode of NASA's Rocket Science in 60 Seconds! go.nasa.gov/2WPOGgf | NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

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

NASA's SLS rocket and Orion capsule fly together, signaling the start of the NASA Artemis missions. The 212-foot rocket, including an orange core stage and two white solid rocket boosters, had rested upon a ground structure called the mobile launcher, as it had during earlier tests.
