Before we launch @NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft on its test flight around the Moon with #Artemis I, @NASAAmes supercomputing system helped engineers and scientists with a visualization of the rocket's launch ignitions.
The uncrewed flight is set to launch no earlier than Aug. 29, and will usher in a new era of spaceflight.
Image description: A schematic of the launchpad shows plumes of fuel in purple, orange, and yellow in the visualization of ignition.
