STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. - NASA will begin a new RS-25 test series Oct. 5, the final round of certification testing ahead of production of an updated set of the engines for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The engines will help power future Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond.
A series of 12 tests stretching into 2024 is scheduled to occur on the Fred Haise Test Stand at Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Miss.
The tests are a key step for lead SLS engines contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne, an L3Harris Technologies company, to produce engines that will help power the SLS rocket, beginning with Artemis V. (NASA 10/03/23) Start Your Engines: NASA to Begin Critical Testing for Future Artemis Missions - NASA
