Simulation Modeling of Space Missions Using the High Level Architecture

Figure 7

This picture (adapted and modified from [35]) describes one of the models of the SLS. The SLS will be the most powerful space launch vehicle ever flown. Additional boost from a pair of the largest solid rocket motors (SRBs) ever to be built will be required to lift the payload into orbit. The assembly/stacking of the different boosters, stages/phases, and the MPCV will occur at the VAB.
