NASA RS-25 Moon Rocket Engine Nozzle Remove & Replace | Stennis Space Center

In early February 2024, teams at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, completed an RS-25 nozzle remove-and-replace procedure as part of an ongoing hot fire series on the Fred Haise Test Stand. Using a specially adapted process and tools, team installed a new production nozzle for the second half of an ongoing 12-test series. NASA is completing a second hot fire series to certify production of new RS-25 engines by lead engines contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne for future Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond.
