Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-25E to Power Future NASA Moon Missions
NASA and Aerojet Rocketdyne—the California-based manufacturer of rocket, hypersonic, and electric propulsive systems for the space, defense, civil and commercial sectors—have completed a series of certification tests of the new RS-25E rocket engines by which future iterations of United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Space Launch System (SLS) will be powered. The test series was undertaken for purpose of ensuring the new engine maintains the standards of robustness and reliability established by its predecessor.
