Now that the Green Run hot fire test is complete, Acting Administrator Steve Jurczyk, Deputy Associate Administrator for Human Exploration Tom Whitmeyer, Space Launch System (SLS) Manager John Honeycutt, and SLS Stages Manager Julie Bassler will discuss how the SLS core stage performed and what’s next for the Artemis I mission to the Moon. Today’s hot fire test took place at Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, on the historic B-2 Test Stand and ignited the core stage for a full eight minutes, providing invaluable data for our engineers.

Successful first test of the Ariane 6 Vulcain 2.1 engine
The first hot firing of Ariane 6’s Vulcain 2.1 main engine was performed in January 2018 at the DLR German Aerospace Center test facility in Lampoldshausen, Germany.
The engine, developed by ArianeGroup, has a simplified and more robust nozzle, a gas generator made through additive manufacturing, and an oxygen heater for oxygen tank pressurisation. These features lower the cost of the engine and simplify manufacturing.
