🚀 Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster Ring Separation During every Space Shuttle launch, one of the most dramatic moments happened just minutes after liftoff — ring separation inside the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs). As the shuttle roared off the pad, the two SRBs burned solid propellant to provide most of the thrust needed to escape Earth’s gravity. Inside each booster were metal segment rings, joined together to form the long cylindrical structure. When the fuel in each segment burned out, sep

Behold: the most powerful rocket boosters ever built for flight 🚀 Together with the Northrop Grumman Corporation, we conducted a full-scale booster test for NASA's Space Launch System rocket — the same rocket that will bring humanity to the Moon and beyond with the #Artemis program.
