All four engines of the new Space Launch System (SLS) were tested at the Stennis Space Center in the state on Thursday. Mississippi Ignited at the same time, NASA announced. The test ignition lasted eight minutes and generated a maximum of 7.1 million newtons as planned.
During a test in January, the missile had its main stage in the RS-25 engine. Does not work as intended. The test ignition ceased after one minute. According to NASA, “no major repairs” were necessary on the rocket.
