SSC does what's needed for stand
STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. -- Need
a massive rocket engine tested without disturbing the neighbors? Yeah, they can
do that at NASA's Stennis Space Center. Need to fabricate a 7,000-pound part,
or how about miles of piping? Well, sure, they can do that, too. Call it a
can-do attitude at SSC, NASA’s premier rocket engine test facility since the
1960s. Work is well under way to prepare for the next big project, testing the
RS-25 engines that will power the core stage of NASA's next generation Space Launch
System. (Source: Gulf Coast Aerospace Corridor Quarterly, 09/10/13) Full quarterly
