A GIANT LEAP FORWARD
SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) is a super heavy-lift rocket, over 212 feet tall, with a 27.6-foot diameter. The core stage holds 733,000 gallons of super-cooled liquid hydrogen and oxygen, fueling the RS-25 engines for human exploration beyond Earth’s orbit. NASA’s Orion spacecraft extends human exploration beyond previous limits. On Artemis missions, it transports the crew, offers emergency abort capability, sustains them during space travel and ensures a safe re-entry from deep space return velocities.

THE M-STAR PROGRAM
Funding for the M-STAR program was earned in partnership with the University of Central Florida, and students conduct research under the supervision of NASA scientists as well as faculty from Embry-Riddle — including Dr. Seetha Raghavan, associate dean for research and graduate studies and professor of Aerospace Engineering; Dr. Daewon Kim, professor of Aerospace Engineering; and Dr. Rojas, associate professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
A GIANT LEAP FOR INCLUSIVITY
NASA’s Artemis missions are scheduled to land the first woman and the first person of color on the lunar surface, equipping them with innovative technologies to explore and discover more than any astronaut has before.
