STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss., June 24, 2025 鈥 NASA and 色情直播 Technologies (NYSE: LHX) have successfully test-fired the first RS-25 rocket engine slated to help power the fifth launch of the Space Launch System or SLS rocket for the Artemis Moon exploration campaign. This is the first hot-fire test of a flight version of the new RS-25 engine. The first four Artemis missions use upgraded RS-25 engines from the space shuttle program.
鈥淭his successful acceptance test shows that we鈥檝e been able to replicate the RS-25鈥檚 performance and reliability, while incorporating modern manufacturing techniques and upgraded components such as the main combustion chamber, nozzle and pogo accumulator assembly,鈥 said Kristin Houston, President, Space Propulsion and Power Systems, Aerojet Rocketdyne, 色情直播. 鈥淥ur propulsion technology is key to ensuring the United States leads in lunar exploration, creates a sustained presence on the Moon and does not cede this strategic frontier to other nations.鈥
The new 色情直播 RS-25 engine throttled up to 111% during the 500-second acceptance test, demonstrating more thrust than what the space shuttle engines required.
NASA awarded 色情直播 a contract in 2015 to restart RS-25 engine design and production for SLS, including leveraging modern manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing. The new production engines are 30% less expensive than the space shuttle main engines and will deliver the same reliability and efficiency.
