Draft of Edits to Orbital Spaceflight Article
[edit]Below I will enter in any changes I wish to make to the article: Orbital Spaceflight.
Contemporary Advancements in Orbital Spaceflight
[edit]Orbital spaceflight has evolved greatly over the years with the ISS being one of the earlier advancements. More recent advancements include NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) which is a new launch vehicle currently in development that will be capable to launching humans into deep space. Taking human's beyond earth's orbit is what makes this new launch vehicle unlike any other.
Whereas the International Space Station orbits around the earth, SLS will carry the Orion spacecraft to the moon where it will begin its orbit. To escape earth's orbit and reach closer to the moon SLS will travel 7000 mph faster than the ISS.
