4 ORION SPACECRAFT LAUNCH ABORT SYSTEM CREW MODULE SERVICE MODULE SPACECRAFT ADAPTER JETTISON PANELS

5 SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEMInterim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage: The upper stage for the first SLS launch will push Orion beyond the moon. Orion: Carries explorers safely into space & back. Stage Adapter: Provides space for sending several small spacecraft to the moon and beyond. Core Stage: Larger than any other rocket stage, the SLS core stage holds fuel for launch. Solid Rocket Boosters: The largest boosters to ever fly will provide most of the power for the first two minutes of flight. RS-25 Engines: The most reliable engines of their kind; upgraded with new technology.
