Following closely on the heels of certifying one set of RS-25 engine upgrades and updates for the first Space Launch System (SLS) flights, NASA and RS-25 prime contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne have begun the next phase of testing on Wednesday afternoon. This involved the hot firing of development engine 0528 (E0528) at the Stennis Space Center at 14:45 local time, although the test ended early.
