RS-25 SLS test fire Aug 9, 2017. Credit: NASA Testing of the new brain for the RS-25 engines that will help power the colossal Space Launch System (SLS) rocket uphill from launch pad 39B in the coming years has been on a roll at NASA’s Stennis Space Center all summer, and they just finished […] 
The first SLS flight engine roared to life for testing at Stennis Space Center on March 10, 2016. Intended for the first crewed SLS mission, EM-2, the engine last saw action powering Space Shuttle Endeavor into orbit in 2011 on STS-134.

The RS-25 engine fires up for a 535-second test Aug. 27, 2015 at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. This is the final in a series of seven tests for the development engine, which will provide NASA engineers critical data on the engine controller unit and inlet pressure conditions.

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 […]

Ducros NASA continues to ramp up its development of its newest crewed space vehicle and launch system, the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), which will be powered by […]
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. Credits: NASA/Stennis NASA and Aerojet Rocketdyne fired up their RS-25 development engine for the […]
