The June 8th full duration 500 second hot fire test of a new RS-25 Engine perfomed by Aerojet Rocketdyne at the NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center , the tenth in a series of twelve tests to certify the engine serial number 10001 for future NASA Artemis missions, starting from Artemis V. | NASASpaceflight.com

NASA’s RS-25 rocket engine firing during a ground test at Stennis Space Center. As the engine roars to life, sunlight passes through water vapor and steam used to cool the test stand—creating a natural rainbow around the exhaust plume. The RS-25 is the powerhouse engine that once flew on the Space Shuttle and now powers NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) for future Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond. Science, power, and beauty—all in one frame. 🌍✨ Video credit: NASA #NASA #RS25 #RocketEngine
