The goal of this experiment is to certify the booster , yet the data must be processed by engineers but it all seemed to go the right way . SLS is designed to push out of orbit astronauts and provide enough power for travel into deep space , the booster will offer its support alongside the main engine of Orion , the most powerful ever built by man so far .
