RS-25 Rock­et Engine Test Firing



NASA,Stennis Space Center,RS-25,Rocket Engine Test



The 7.5‑minute test con­duct­ed at NASA’s Sten­nis Space Cen­ter is part of a series of tests designed to put the upgrad­ed for­mer space shut­tle engines through the rig­or­ous tem­per­a­ture and pres­sure con­di­tions they will expe­ri­ence dur­ing a launch. The tests also sup­port the devel­op­ment of a new con­troller, or “brain,” for the engine, which mon­i­tors engine sta­tus and com­mu­ni­cates between the rock­et and the engine, relay­ing com­mands to the engine and trans­mit­ting data back to the rocket.
