NASA’s Space Launch System rocket, designed to ferry astronauts to the moon, has been reportedly found by an audit to be $6 billion over budget and six years behind its original schedule.that a recent audit has found that NASA’s Space Launch System rocket, which is intended to transport astronauts to the moon, is $6 billion over budget and six years behind schedule.
The Inspector General of NASA, who is responsible for the recent audit, paints a bleak picture of the project’s current state, issuing a cautionary note regarding potential future cost and schedule increases that could jeopardize the success of the entire Artemis mission. The SLS rocket uses four RS-25 engines per launch, including 16 that were salvaged from decommissioned Space Shuttles. It made its first launch in November 2022. However, using this off-the-shelf technology has not resulted in the anticipated cost savings. The audit highlights how much more difficult than anticipated it has turned out to be to integrate new and legacy systems.
