The methodologies and development of the loads experienced during liftoff of the NASA SLS Block I vehicle will be presented in this paper. The liftoff loads analysis traditionally captures the dynamics of vehicle/pad separation after engine/booster ignition coupled with other launch day environments like wind, overpressure, and engine side loads. Additionally, the liftoff analysis includes an on-pad engine shutdown prior to booster ignition. The SLS liftoff analysis is performed using a Monte Carlo analysis and this paper will explore the Monte Carlo process and the statistical approach to calculating the limit loads.
