Testing the Most Powerful Engine for NASA’s Space Launch System

From the creator

Engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, talk about the current test series for the RS-25 engine on the A-1 test stand. Four RS-25 engines and twin solid rocket boosters will power NASA’s new rocket, the Space Launch System, on deep space missions, including to an asteroid and ultimately to Mars. The RS-25, previously used on the space shuttle, is being modified for SLS specifications, including a higher thrust level and new engine controller unit.
