Aerojet Rocketdyne has completed the seven-part retrofit testing series of the modernized components of its RS-25 engines that will be used on NASA’s Space Launch System heavy-lift rocket. The tests at Stennis Space Center in Missouri validated RS-25’s main combustion chamber, fuel and oxidizer turbopumps, valves and actuators that were either designed or developed using […] More
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 are designed to provide above […] More
