NASA achieves milestone for engines to power future Artemis missions
NASA achieved a major milestone April 3 for production of new RS-25 engines to help power its Artemis campaign to the moon and beyond with completion of a critical engine certification test series at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
The 12-test series represents a key step for lead engines contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne, an L3Harris Technologies company, to build new RS-25 engines, using modern processes and manufacturing techniques, for NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) rockets that will power future lunar missions, beginning with Artemis V.
"The conclusion of the certification test series at NASA Stennis is just the beginning for the next generation of RS-25 engines that will help power human spaceflight for Artemis," said Johnny Heflin, SLS liquid engines manager. "The newly produced engines on future SLS rockets will maintain the high reliability and safe flight operational legacy the RS-25 is known for while enabling more affordable high-performance engines for the next era of deep space exploration."
Through Artemis, NASA will establish the foundation for long-term scientific exploration at the moon; land the first woman, first person of color, and first international partner astronaut on the lunar surface; and prepare for human expeditions to Mars for the benefit of all.
Contributing to that effort, the NASA Stennis test team conducted a full-duration, 500-second hot fire to complete the 12-test series on developmental engine E0525, providing critical performance data for the final RS-25 design certification review. The April 3 hot fire completed a test series that began in October 2023.
RS-25 engines are evolved space shuttle main engines, upgraded with new components to produce the additional power needed to help launch NASA's SLS rocket. The first four Artemis missions are using modified space shuttle main engines also tested at NASA Stennis. For each Artemis mission, four RS-25 engines, along with a pair of solid rocket boosters, power the SLS rocket, producing more than 8.8 million pounds of total combined thrust at liftoff.
"This was a critical test series, and credit goes to the entire test team for their dedication and unique skills that allowed us to meet the schedule and provide the needed performance data," said Chip Ellis, project manager for RS-25 testing at NASA Stennis. "The tests conducted at NASA Stennis help ensure the safety of our astronauts and their future mission success. We are proud to be part of the Artemis mission."
The E0525 developmental engine featured new key components—including a nozzle, hydraulic actuators, flex ducts, and turbopumps—that matched design features of those used during an initial certification test series completed at NASA Stennis last summer.
The two certification test series helped verify the new engine components meet all Artemis flight requirements moving forward. Aerojet Rocketdyne is using techniques such as 3D printing to produce new RS-25 engines more efficiently, while maintaining high performance and reliability. NASA has awarded the company contracts to provide 24 new engines, supporting SLS launches for Artemis V through Artemis IX.
"Successfully completing this rigorous test series is a testament to the outstanding work done by the team to design, implement and test this upgraded version of the RS-25 that reduces the cost by 30% from the space shuttle program," said Mike Lauer, RS-25 program director at Aerojet Rocketdyne. "We tested the new RS-25 engines to the extreme limits of operation to ensure the engines can operate at a higher power level needed for SLS and complete the mission with margin."
All RS-25 engines are tested and proven flightworthy at NASA Stennis prior to use on Artemis missions. RS-25 tests at the center are conducted by a diverse team of operators from NASA, Aerojet Rocketdyne, and Syncom Space Services, prime contractor for site facilities and operations.
IMAGE....The second – and final – RS-25 certification test series begins Oct. 17, 2023. When the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants mix and ignite, an extremely high temperature exhaust, of up to 6,000-degrees Fahrenheit, mixes with water to form steam that exits the flame deflector and rises into the atmosphere, forming a cloud that subsequently cools.

Global Village
We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.
Winston Churchill, 1943
A symbiosis between NASA and the shrinking of the world into a global village informs the provenance of the telecommunications industry. The export of satellite technology from the pages of science fiction into the ether above was first articulated by the polymath Arthur Clark in 1945. Seminal to the industry the white-paper titled ‘Extra-Terrestrial Relays’ conjured up a world not connected by short-wave radio or a lattice of undersea cables but rather by signals bounced off stations in the void of space. A web of these satellites orbiting the earth unfettered by atmospheric disturbances could be a medium for real-time communication. The sheer audacity of this idea cannot be stressed enough. When the monograph was penned humanity had scarcely pierced the boundaries of space with its primitive technology. The highest altitude recorded by a V-2 rocket topped the distance of 189km in suborbital flight (Lee 2020). Just for Clarke’s hypothetical satellite to be entertained it would need to reach the threshold of 36,000km. The grandiosity of this foresight evokes the same futurism gleaned from Leonardo da Vinci’s first doodles on the mechanics of flight centuries ahead of their invention. But rather than be dismissed as a fit of daydreaming in less than two decades were these wild speculations of satellite technology brought to life.
America’s formal dalliance with transmitting signals into the vast unknown began with President Eisenhower’s industrial policy in 1958. Abreast of Projects Mercury, Gemini and Apollo another triptych begot a quantum leap in the separate firmament of global communication during the jet age. Projects Echo, Relay and Syncom each escalating in sophistication came to experiment with bouncing microwave frequencies off passive and active satellites from ground stations below. A diverse consortium of firms brainstormed these instruments under the auspices of NASA. In the halcyon days of adventurism into the cosmos Project Echo became a totem for a proof of concept to test whether radio signals could piggyback on objects in orbit for the sake of long-distance communication. This maiden satellite from 1960 was effectively a monolithic balloon of aluminized Mylar whose reflective properties redirected signals from a laboratory in California to one in New Jersey. Initially the Aeronautics Division of the foodstuff maker General Mills was recruited to build this galactic mirror but when it was discovered that it would fray in the inhospitable vacuum of space the firm was jettisoned for the Schjeldahl company. To stave off premature ruptures of the orb’s skin a single fortified seam was introduced versus the previous patchwork.
Upping the ante in technical specifications for the sequel to Project Echo was the Relay satellite which sought to undo the tyranny of geography. Communication signals via traditional infrastructure were liable to degradation over long distances at a prohibitive cost in capital. By contrast the bandwidth of Project Relay exhibited a fidelity heretofore unseen with the bonus of transmitting across further expanses. Whereas short-wave radio failed to penetrate the vicissitudes of atmospheric conditions whether it be through fog or rain this alternative had no such deficit that may throttle it. Moreover skeptics had to be reminded about the economies of scope whereby television, radio and telephone signals could be diffused on a single piece of hardware rather than across a multitude of terrestrial stations like in legacy systems. No longer would the geometry of communication be at the mercy of oceans or mountains but instead find deliverance in the airwaves far above. Thus the utility of Project Relay was not lost on policymakers whose analysis of the costs and benefits vindicated the industrial policy to finance it. Project Relay legitimized satellites when operational expenditures were bound to plummet as the onus of maintenance was removed. Telecommunications therefore was the very first technology to commercialize space.
A jigsaw of private stakeholders pooled resources together to inaugurate this next chapter in the study of satellite technology. One particular enigma that needed to be demystified promptly was the longevity of Relay’s testbed as its honeycomb of solar cells would face a barrage of cosmic radiation in the Van Allen Belt. The rate of degradation had to be probed and then mitigated if delicate electronics were to weather the wilds of space. Any viability hinged on ensuring a lengthy lifecycle of the satellite in this minefield of hazards and so advanced measuring hardware approximated 11 percent of the weight for the first iteration (Ezell 1988: 376). The omnipresence of radiation had to be properly understood lest the enterprise become a financial sinkhole. Relay 1 in turn would be the proverbial canary in the coal mine to measure the inimical effects of these energy particles as each critical system was made redundant with a backup in the event of a malfunction. After the first launch in 1962 the second satellite in 1964 boasted upgrades with shielding far more resilient to radiation than the preceding prototype. Relay 2 learned from its sibling and later broadcast segments of the Winter Olympic Games in Austria a few days upon the start of its mission. The program was the first to master real-time communication.
In the saga of Cold War politics America paraded its soft power with the apotheosis of Syncom that followed in the footsteps of the foregoing Relay program. Although less romanticized in the public imagination than the lunar missions but of equal salience this final prototype sought a geostationary orbit above the equator relative to a fixed point on the ground. Such a static position aloft in space relayed signals for one-third of Earth in a revolution for telecommunications. This portmanteau of ‘synchronous communication’ epitomized a giant leap in technology. At an altitude of 35,768km the parity of speed between Syncom and Earth’s rotation intimated the satellite could synchronize with one location on the terrestrial surface and hover above it. In this precise position the system and its solar cells would be continuously recharged by the sun. Whilst minor propulsion difficulties hobbled Syncom 2 with its figure-eight pattern above the sky after its predecessor completely floundered the third iteration nudged itself into the coveted spot of a geostationary orbit. Instant communication was made a reality as Syncom became globalization’s progenitor where citizens were no longer spectators but rather participants to world events. NASA thus created an information super highway for the world.
In the pyrotechnics to explore and exploit the final frontier the connectivity that ensued from transmitting voice, data and video via microwaves irrevocably changed the world economy. Analogous to President Theodore Roosevelt’s industrial policy of building the Panama Canal in 1904 meant to truncate the journey around South America’s Cape Horn did NASA’s satellites induce a similar vector of growth. Government funding coupled with public-private alliances integrated markets akin to how faster transit by ship aroused the same effect although the latter clearly manifested in more analogue ways. The Information Age cultivated by satellite technology came to midwife a multi-billion dollar industry whose downstream effects hastened economic globalization. Traders on Wall Street could navigate London and Tokyo stock exchanges devoid of any lag in financials. Multinationals began to exercise greater agency in managing supply chains. Media transcended borders to diffuse a monoculture of capitalism amidst the spectre of sabre-rattling from Cold War hostilities. A digital Silk Road thereby homogenized markets as transaction times were whittled down from days to seconds. Commerce then seized upon the alacrity at which capital moved since geographical determinism was no longer germane to growth.

Poslední bílá místa z map nesmazali mořeplavci nebo archeologové, ale Virginia Norwood
Jako žena, vynálezkyně a průkopnice přitom na své pouti musela prošlapávat mnoho nových cest. Jak se jí to povedlo?
Ve 40. letech, tedy v době, kdy na této univerzitě ještě neměli ani koleje pro dívky a v kolejních jídelnách směly dívky jíst jen na pozvání mužského osazenstva, Virginia vystudovala matematickou fyziku na MIT. Studia dokončila v roce 1947, jenže si - jako žena - nejprve nemohla najít odpovídající práci. Zatajovala svůj titul, aby mohla pracovat v obchodu s módou.
Naštěstí o rok později spolu s manželem nastoupili do zaměstání ve vývojových laboratoří Spojovacího sboru americké armády. Rychle se prosadila, když přišla s nápadem na radarový odražeč, který měl měřit rychlost větru ve vysokých výškách.
Díky jejímu návrhu bylo možné měřit a předpovídat chování větru ve výškách až 30 kilometrů. Patent na něj obdržela v pouhých 22 letech. Ale to byl jen začátek.
Postupně získávala ostruhy a v roce 1953 nastoupila do oddělení výzkumu a vývoje v Hughes Aircraft, jako vůbec jediná žena z 2700 zaměstanců. Právě v Hughes Aircraft naplno rozvinula svoje úžasné schopnosti. Se svým týmem tu vyvíjela nejrůznější typy antén a zařízení.
Jedno z nich, umístěné na první komunikační družici Syncom 2, umožnilo vůbec první obousměrný satelitní hovor mezi hlavami státu (Kennedy ve Washingtonu volal premiérovi Nigérie Abubakaru Tafawa Balewovi v Lagosu).
Další družice Syncom 3 byla pro změnu použita k prvnímu televiznímu přenosu olympijských her v Tokiu přes satelit do USA.
Díky svým zkušenostem se později podílela na vývoji vysílačů umožňujících spojení mezi Zemí a sondou Surveyor. Rolí sondy bylo přistát na Měsíci a dodat potřebná data pro plánované mise programu Apollo.
Jen pár měsíců po přistání Surveyoru začala Virginia s úvahami nad zcela novým přístrojem, díky kterému se proslavila a získala i svoji pozdější přezdívku.
NASA a Americká geologická služba USGS totiž tou dobou plánovaly vyslat družici zaměřenou na pozorování Země, určenou čistě pro civilní použití.
Narozdíl od jejich záměru - snímat Zemi pomocí upravených televizních kamer a přenášet signál analogově k Zemi - Virginia přišla s velmi odlišným, ve vesmíru nikdy nevyzkoušeným technickým řešením.
Chtěla totiž používat vícespektrální snímač MSS. Ten by snímal jednotlivá pásma elektromagnetického záření odpovídající různým vlnovým délkám, a získával tak o Zemi pod sebou mnohem více informací.
Jedno pásmo by například umožnilo studovat kvalitu vody, jiné by odhalilo zralost plodin, třetí by mohlo ukázat absorpci chlorofylu a další by se dala použít k určení vlhkosti půdy nebo hustoty sněhové pokrývky.
Kvůli oběhu družice okolo planety od severu k jihu by byla Země pod ní rozdělena do pruhů, které by se po jednotlivých pásmech snímaly. Velkou revolucí rovněž byl převod informace do digitálního signálu. Jednotlivá pásma by se pak mohla skládat dohromady nebo používat zvlášť.
Virginia věděla, že spektrometry zemědělci už používají při leteckých pozorováních, ale aby byla schopná s tehdejší technologií zabírat rychle po sobě pruhy země, musela přijít s řešením, kdy pro každé pásmo měl měřící přístroj různá čidla.
Světlo k nim postupně pouštělo speciální pohyblivé zrcadlo, které se mohlo pohybovat tam i zpět. Díky mikrogravitaci mohlo beryliové zrcadlo létat uvnitř přístroje a zařízení bylo odolné a lehké zároveň.
Jenže ani v NASA, ani v Geologické službě nápadu příliš nevěřili. Zadali proto týmu Norwoodové sestrojit prototyp, který by ještě na Zemi tuto technologii ověřil. Kvůli přísným požadavkům prototyp nakonec oproti šesti navrhovaným pásmům snímal pásma čtyři.
Aby přesvědčili týmy v NASA a USGS, s prototypem vážícím pouhých 48 kilogramů umístěném v náklaďáku pak její tým jezdil po Kalifornii a fotil krajinu. Výsledky byly slibné.
Přesto v NASA rozhodli, že na palubě bude jak Virginiin MSS, tak analogové kamery RBV, se kterými měli více zkušeností z programu Apollo. (v porovnání je snímek z RBV ten níže)
Úsilí vyvrcholilo 23. července 1972, kdy byla úspěšně vynesena družice ERTS na oběžnou dráhu s oběma přístroji na palubě. A o dva dny později byly k vidění první snímky. I ti největší pochybovači byli výsledky naprosto ohromeni!
Kvalita snímků z MSS zcela předčila veškerá očekávání. Kvůli vlastnostem oběžné dráhy družice mohl vícespektrální snímač osnímkovat celou planetu za pouhých 18 dní.
Přístroj týmu Virginie Norwood se natolik osvědčil, že jeho vylepšené verze se objevily na palubě dalších čtyř generací družic z programu, který po přejmenování nese jméno Landsat.
Její píle, odvaha a důmysl tak umožnily lidem pozorovat svět jako nikdy předtím, lépe chápat jeho proměny a smazat z map poslední bílá místa.
Virginia Norwood, “Matka Landsatu”, které můžeme být za mnohé vděční zemřela před měsícem ve věku 96 let. Děkujeme!

NASA tests in-flight capability of Artemis moon rocket engine
NASA conducted the third RS-25 engine hot fire in a critical 12-test certification series Nov. 29, demonstrating a key capability necessary for flight of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket during Artemis missions to the moon and beyond.
NASA is conducting the series of tests to certify new manufacturing processes for producing RS-25 engines for future deep space missions, beginning with Artemis V. Aerojet Rocketdyne, an L3Harris Technologies Company and lead engines contractor for the SLS rocket, is incorporating new manufacturing techniques and processes, such as 3D printing, in production of new RS-25 engines.
Crews gimbaled, or pivoted, the RS-25 engine around a central point during the almost 11-minute (650 seconds) hot fire on the Fred Haise Test Stand at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The gimbaling technique is used to control and stabilize SLS as it reaches orbit.
During the Nov. 29 test, operators also pushed the engine beyond any parameters it might experience during flight to provide a margin of operational safety. The 650-second test exceeded the 500 seconds RS-25 engines must operate to help power SLS to space. The RS-25 engine also was fired to 113% power level, exceeding the 111% level needed to lift SLS to orbit.
The ongoing series will stretch into 2024 as NASA continues its mission to return humans to the lunar surface to establish a long-term presence for scientific discovery and to prepare for human missions to Mars.
Four RS-25 engines fire simultaneously to generate a combined 1.6 million pounds of thrust at launch and 2 million pounds of thrust during ascent to help power each SLS flight. NASA and Aerojet Rocketdyne modified 16 holdover space shuttle main engines, all proven flightworthy at NASA Stennis, for Artemis missions I through IV.
Every new RS-25 engine that will help power SLS also will be tested at NASA Stennis. RS-25 tests at the site are conducted by a combined team of NASA, Aerojet Rocketdyne, and Syncom Space Services operators. Syncom Space Services is the prime contractor for Stennis facilities and operations.
