New NASA Artemis V Moon Rocket Engine Test: Preparing for Crewed Missions

An Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-25 rocket engine was tested on the Fred Haise Test Stand (formerly A-1 Test Stand) at the John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, on April 26 2023, at 18:36 UTC (13:36 CDT, 14:36 EDT). This was the sixth hot fire test in a planned 12-test series of the newly redesigned RS-25 engines that will be used beginning with the Artemis V Mission.
