Rocket Science in 60 Seconds gives you an inside look at work being done at NASA to explore deep space. Rob Stough, payload utilization manager for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS), determines how to get maximum performance from the rocket so SLS can send payloads to a variety of deep space destinations. In this episode, he outlines Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), the first integrated flight of SLS and NASA’s Orion spacecraft, and gives an overview of the power needed to boost the rocket into space and send Orion to the Moon.
