SUMMARY: NASA has reached the halfway point of a 12-test series for RS-25 engine certification, essential for the Artemis moon missions. The sixth full-duration hot fire test was conducted at Stennis Space Center. These tests, which involved running the engine at power levels up to 113%, are crucial for certifying new RS-25 engines made by Aerojet Rocketdyne for use in the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket starting with Artemis V.
