Summary
NASA conducted the first hot fire in a new series of tests for production of RS-25 engines that will help power the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket on future deep-space missions. The test of RS-25 developmental engine No. 0525 on the Fred Haise Test Stand at Stennis Space Center, marks the beginning of a test series designed to provide valuable data to Aerojet Rocketdyne, the lead contractor for SLS engines, as the company begins production of new RS-25 engines. For the Dec. 15 test, the RS-25 developmental engine fired for a full duration of about eight-and-a-half minutes (500 seconds) and the engine operated at 111% of its original power level for a set duration of time, the same level that RS-25 engines are required to perform during launch.
