NASA’s newly redesigned RS-25 engine for future flights of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket underwent its first hot fire test of the year Feb. 8 at the agency’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi on the Fred Haise Test Stand. The testing series supports production of new RS-25 engines by lead SLS engine contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne. The single-engine hot fire, which fired for 500 seconds, featured a range of new components, including a new nozzle. The new engines will help power future Artemis missions to the Moon beginning with Artemis V as NASA explores the universe for the benefit of all.
