NASA is performing hot fire tests of the new RS-25 engines that will power the agency’s Space Launch System rocket toward the moon in the Artemis V mission, currently scheduled for 2029.
Recommended Videos As the term suggests, hot fire tests involve firing up the engine to check its performance. Engineers recently completed the ninth in a series of 12 tests using the Fred Haise Test Stand at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The remaining three tests are expected to be completed by the end of this month.
The first four Artemis missions — the first of which launched in November to test NASA’s SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft in a flight around the moon — are using refurbished S-25 engines that flew the Space Shuttle until the program was decommissioned in 2011.
