Eli5 how do SLS and Space shuttle SRBs burn for the same time when SLS SRB has an extra segment? 426 viewsDecember 31, 2023 Question100.55K November 3, 2023 0 Comments Wouldn’t SLS SRBs burn longer? Or is because the solid fuel burns from the inside out ie. not bottom to top?

Only what’s on that inside surface is currently burning, so control the surface area and you control how fast and thus how long it burns.
