The engines are based on the RS-25 space shuttle engines but with some modifications to make them more powerful and efficient.The first test of the new RS-25 developmental design for engine E0525 took place on Wednesday . Engine burn duration) atStennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.

The first SLS rocket will use repurposed RS-25 engines from the space shuttle era, while the subsequent rockets will use new RS-25 engines that are being certified through hot fire tests. The new engines will start flying on the Artemis 5 mission, which is expected to launch no earlier than 2029. The Artemis program aims to land humans on the moon by 2026 and establish a sustainable presence there by 2028. The first crewed mission, Artemis 2, will fly around the moon in 2024, while the second mission, Artemis 3, will attempt to land near the lunar south pole in 2026 using SpaceX’s Starship landing system. The third crewed mission, Artemis 4, will try another landing in 2028.

NASA and its industry partners are also testing other aspects of the SLS rocket, such as the solid rocket boosters, which provide additional thrust during liftoff. In September, engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, completed a subscale booster motor test to evaluate an alternate booster design for missions after Artemis 8.

The lead SLS engine contractor is Aerojet Rocketdyne, an L3Harris Technologies company, while Boeing is building the SLS core stage.What is pre-war steel, and why are people stealing it?What is the real impact of CGI — on the environment and on audiences
