The world’s most efficient rocket engine came to life again today, unleashing 512,000 pounds of thrust and a thunderous roar across southern Mississippi and NASA’s Stennis Space Center during a 535-second full power test fire. The same engine that powered the space shuttle so reliably for years, the RS-25, will again be employed for […] 
RS-25 development engine test fire at Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Miss. Yesterday’s test fire, the fourth in the first series of seven planned test fires, ran for 650 seconds, the longest SLS RS-25 test fire yet. Four RS-25 engines will power the core stage of NASA’s new rocket, the Space Launch […]
The RS-25 engine fires up at the beginning of a 500-second test June 11 at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Four RS-25 engines will power the core stage of NASA’s new rocket, the Space Launch System.

 The Cassini mission has come to an end and and the spacecraft is to be de-orbited and crashed into Saturn. Click here for updates.     Close-up View of Neutron Star Mission's X-Ray Concentrator Optics  A new NASA mission, the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), is headed for the International Space Station to observe one of the strangest observable objects in the universe. In this photo, NICER’s X-ray concentrator optics are inspected for dust and foreign object debris that could impair functionality once in space. Read More
