Aerojet Rocketdyne has fulfilled its task to produce hardware necessary for the propulsion of the rocket that would send a crewed Orion spacecraft around the moon as part of NASA's second Artemis mission. The company said Monday it completed the RL10 and RS-25 engines for the Space Launch System in support of Artemis II, the second integrated SLS-Orion flight and the first lunar flyby with crew.

Sixteen Aerojet Rocketdyne-built engines and flight controllers have passed acceptance trials to fly on four planned NASA flights of  the Space Launch System.

Aerojet Rocketdyne tested the fourth and final RS-25 engine controller needed for NASA’s Space Launch System. The company said Wednesday the testing for the fourth RS-25 controller was done at Stennis Space Center, which follows the third controller test done in July to check engine thrust and mixture ratio precision. The four RS-25 engines …

Aerojet Rocketdyne has expanded the company’s assembly and test facility for its advanced liquid rocket engine at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. The company will begin to develop and test the AR1 advanced liquid rocket engine at its Center of Excellence for Large Liquid Rocket Engine Assembly and Test …

NASA will subject the booster for a Boeing-built rocket to a second ground qualification test on June 28 at an Orbital ATK facility in Utah. The space agency will broadcast Tuesday the live coverage of the two-minute booster test for the Space Launch System via NASA Television and then conduct a media …

NASA has concluded a 500-second, live-fire test of an Aerojet Rocketdyne-built RS-25 engine for the Space Launch System heavy-lift vehicle at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. The initial fire-test on Aerojet-made E2059 engine sought to evaluate the engine’s new controller, high-pressure fuel turbopump and the calibration of engine flowmeters, the company said …

NASA has concluded a series of seven developmental tests on an Aerojet Rocketdyne-made engine for the Space Launch System at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi ahead of the rocket’s mission to Mars and other deep space destinations. The 535-second hot-fire test on the RS-25 engine sought to gather information on inlet pressure conditions, …
