Northrop Grumman and NASA Advance Largest Rocket Tests Amid Challenges
A new version of the solid rocket booster for NASA's SLS experienced an anomaly during a test in Utah, with debris scattering from the nozzle, though the motor continued to burn. The BOLE booster aims to enhance payload capacity for Artemis missions, but its future is uncertain amid budget debates and previous nozzle issues. The test provided valuable data despite the anomaly.
