Summary
NASA continued a critical RS-25 test series for future Artemis flights of NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket on Jan. 23 with a full-duration hot fire on the Fred Haise Test Stand at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Data collected from the test series will be used to certify production of new RS-25 engines by lead contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne, an L3Harris Technologies company, to help power SLS rocket on Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond, beginning with Artemis V. The current series is the second and final series to certify production of the engines, which include several upgraded components. NASA completed an initial 12-test certification series with the new components in June 2023. Four RS-25 engines fire simultaneously to help launch each SLS rocket, producing up to 2 million pounds of combined thrust.
