All RS-25 engines are tested and proven flightworthy at NASA Stennis prior to use. 21 on the Fred Haise Test Stand at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St.
Test teams fired the developmental engine for almost eight-and-a-half minutes (500 seconds), the same amount of time RS-25 engines fire during launch of NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket. 2 min read Preparations for Next Moonwalk Simulations Underway (and Underwater) NASA conducts a hot fire of RS-25 engine No.
NASA/Danny Nowlin NASA conducts a hot fire of RS-25 engine No. During the test, operators also fired the engine up to the 111% power level, matching the thrust needed for new production engines to launch the SLS rocket and the Orion spacecraft to orbit.
