Approximately a way this is NASA's rocket replacement of space shuttle that has been retired.
122 meters tall weighing 3,250 tons, and can transport 143 tons of cargo, perhaps even up to 165 tons into space.
It makes a giant rocket transport capabilities of the shuttle that reaches 27 ton become meaningless.
Not only superior to the space shuttle, the new rocket capable of lifting more weight than the Saturn V, NASA's long rocket, which can carry loads of 130 tons.
For comparison, the largest unmanned rocket is currently only able to carry loads up to about 25 tons.
Haulage great added value for the rocket that was designed to explore space, far from the earth, even to reach Mars.
Last week, NASA's new rocket design is presented by the NASA chief Charles Bolden. Space probe rocket was named the Space Launch System (SLS).
Program billions of dollars it will bring an astronaut in a capsule which sits atop the rocket. The first mission is targeted SLS next 10 years, on condition, everything goes according to plan.
The test launch of the unmanned aircraft is expected to do in Cape Canaveral, Florida, in the next six years.
Head of Operations and William Gerstenmaier said NASA's Exploration SLS as the strongest and biggest rocket ever built man.
"Making this rocket will be very challenging," he said. "Later we will be able to fly out of low earth orbit to a place that was never done by any country."
But make no mistake, rocket prototype has even the smallest driving force 10 percent larger than the Saturn V rocket carrying the Apollo astronauts to the moon.
When a new rocket is built according to its original size, its power will increase 20 percent. According to Gerstenmaier, larger versions will have the equivalent of 208 thousand Gorvette engine horsepower.
With a power far greater than the Saturn V, NASA tried to be more flexible in determining the destination location and time of the launch rocket.
The space agency was targeting an asteroid as a location for the purpose of the rocket in 2025 and Mars by 2030. Though it can fly a rocket to the moon, earth satellite was not the primary goal of NASA.
After the space shuttle, NASA plans to explore new places that require "leaps" great to get out of Earth's orbit, something that was never done since 1972.
One thing that still block the dream it is required an enormous cost to make it happen.
Senator Bill Nelson of Florida reveals a major obstacle looming billion-dollar project.
"Certainly it will face difficult times," he said. "We're in an era when everything should be saved. But the cost of this is that we submitted a realistic figure that has been verified by independent experts."
Hans Mark, professor of technology University of Texas who has served as Vice Chairman of NASA, said there is a possibility of money and the location of the rocket's destination will be a bigger problem than a technical problem.
Mark said NASA as technology merges the best of the space shuttle and Apollo into one.
The giant rocket was very similar to the Saturn V, not just the size and shape, but also "loyalty" to the liquid fuel.
Space shuttle fleet is retired it's just too attached to a giant tank of liquid fuels, although still relying on two solid-fuel booster rockets for takeoff.
In the calculation of NASA, they will build and launch one rocket per year for 15 years or more in 2020 until 2030.
NASA hopes to launch its first unmanned by 2017 and send astronauts in 2021, followed by missions to asteroids and Mars.
In the early stages, the rocket is able to carry 77-110 tons of cargo, including the capsule Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, which can carry six people.
Crew capsule that is currently being assembled has the room two times wider than the Apollo capsule. "This time capsule can be filled only three astronauts," said NASA spokesman Michael Braukus.
For fuel, a giant rocket is still using a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
In the preliminary flight tests, the SLS will use solid-fueled booster rockets that are designed for the space shuttle and the shuttle main engine in it. But the booster rocket that would later be replaced with a new booster that technologically more sophisticated.
NASA hopes to push spending as much as possible. They save money by handing transport the astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) to private companies, such as hiring a taxi service. *** [TJANDRA DEWI | AP | NASA | KORAN TEMPO 3652]

Old Technology
Although the new, NASA rocket is actually still rely on old technology used by NASA in rocket before the space shuttle.But make no mistake, rocket prototype has even the smallest driving force 10 percent larger than the Saturn V rocket carrying the Apollo astronauts to the moon.
