0496 SLS – ENABLING HUMAN EXPLORATION EXPLORATION CLASS: DEEP SPACE CAPABILITIES
• Five times more volume than any contemporary heavy lift vehicle VOLUME Orion 8m fairing • Only vehicle that can carry the Orion and a co- with with large manifested payload to the Moon Science aperture Missions telescope
• Block 1: Can launch 60% more mass than any contemporary launch vehicle MASS • Block 2: Mars-enabling capability of greater than Contemporary SLS Block 1 SLS Block 2 Heavy Lift Exploration Exploration 45 metric tons to Trans Lunar Injection Class Class
• Reduce transit times by half or greater to the outer DEPARTURE solar system ENERGY

VOLUME AND MASS RANGE 0496 SUMMARY
• SLS provides unique opportunities for smallsats –Affordable access to the Moon and deep space –Payloads ranging from 6U/12U/27U to ESPA-class may be accommodated • EM-1 launching in fiscal year 2020, with 13 CubeSats manifested • Hardware for second mission in progress • Call for next SLS CubeSat payloads planned for this summer • Flexible architecture will meet demands of deep space exploration –Flight manifest may include multiple Block 1 flights
More Information
• SLS Mission Planner’s Guide (ESD 30000) –Provides future payload developers/users with information to support preliminary SLS mission planning –Copies can be requested via email: NASA-slspayloads@mail.nasa.gov –www.nasa.gov/opportunities for CubeSat payload opportunities and announcements
