L3Harris Technologies has been selected to develop the avionics system for rocket boosters Northrop Grumman will manufacture to help NASA send astronauts to the lunar surface. L3Harris said Thursday it will provide avionics to IV-VIII missions under the Artemis program and its technology will be designed to also support the IX booster. Northrop received a […] More
Jacobs is set to begin final pre-launch tests of the Space Launch System, which will send the first NASA Artemis mission to the lunar orbit, at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The company said Monday its team will work with the space agency’s Exploration Ground Systems personnel to perform a wet dress rehearsal of the […] More
NASA has issued a request for proposals for the potential 10-year Consolidated Operations, Management, Engineering and Test contract that will replace the Kennedy Space Center’s Test and Operations Support Contract. The space agency will conduct a full and open competition for the COMET contract, which has a four-year base term and three two-year option periods, […] More
NASA has asked industry for feedback on how the agency can maximize the long-term efficiency of the Space Launch System, Exploration Ground Systems, Cross-Program Systems Integration and other Exploration Systems Development programs while reducing production, operations and maintenance costs. The agency plans to consolidate SLS contracts into a single Exploration Production and Operations Contract to […] More
Jacobs and NASA have installed 10 CubeSat payloads on the Space Launch System rocket’s Orion stage adapter for the Artemis exploration program’s first flight mission. The secondary payloads will deploy from the Orion spacecraft’s stage adapter after separation from SLS to perform their individual science and technology missions, Jennifer Harbaugh, a senior social media communications […] More
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
Boeing has delivered the final piece of hardware that will complete NASA’s Space Launch System rocket intended to launch Artemis I, an uncrewed mission to the moon with the Orion spacecraft. Aboard the Pegasus barge, the 212-foot-tall rocket core stage arrived at Kennedy Space Center to be stacked with the upper stage, twin rocket boosters, a launch vehicle stage adapter and Orion, the company said Thursday.
Arctic Slope Technical Services, a subsidiary of ASRC Federal, has agreed to help NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center augment and further mature a rocket that would fly astronauts to space for future exploration missions. ASTS will use an engineering toolkit to conduct an artificial intelligence-driven analysis of engine and vehicle data sets to determine the failures, oddities and trends surrounding the Space Launch System, ASRC Federal said Wednesday.
Boeing has completed a hot-fire test of the cryogenic core stage the company built for NASA's Space Launch System rocket. The company and NASA performed the test at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi on Thursday as part of the Green Run test campaign and collected data that will be used in the certification of the core stage for flight.
A Jacobs-led ground systems engineering team will prepare the Orion spacecraft for final processing and fueling as a prerequisite to rocket integration activities of an upcoming lunar flight mission. The company said Tuesday its Exploration Ground Systems team received Orion on Saturday at Florida-based Kennedy Space Center to prepare the spacecraft for NASA's Artemis program.
Lockheed Martin has sent the Orion capsule to NASA's exploration ground systems team for final preparations ahead of the unmanned Artemis I mission to lunar orbit that will launch later this year. The spacecraft concluded assembly operations and testing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
NASA is scheduled to conduct a hot fire test for four engines built by Aerojet Rocketdyne for the Space Launch System Jan. 17 as part of a series of “Green Run“ trials for the vehicle's core stage.
