NASA Ignites Powerful RS-25 Engines for Artemis Moon Missions

NASA’s Stennis Space Center has successfully conducted a crucial hot-fire test of an RS-25 engine, a vital component for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket that will propel astronauts to the Moon.

The eight-and-a-half-minute test, which simulated the full duration of an SLS launch, pushed the engine to 111% of its power level, demonstrating its readiness for the ambitious Artemis missions.
