In related news, NASA has installed the first of four RS-25 engines on its upcoming SLS megarocket.
Unlike other spacecraft, SpaceX’s Starship human landing system will sit in space for a while without being fired, which would cause the temperatures of its hardware to drop to a lower level than if it were to complete a short mission to low Earth orbit.
The test, which took place last month, was the second one to demonstrate the Starship Raptor engine’s ability to perform on the lunar surface. In November 2021, SpaceX tested the engine’s ability to perform a descent burn to land on the surface of the Moon. During theRaptor demonstrated the powered descent portion of the mission, when the Starship [Human Landing System] leaves its orbit over the lunar surface and begins its descent to the Moon’s surface to land,” NASA wrote.
At NASA’s Michoud Facility in New Orleans, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Boeing teams installed the first RS-25 engine on the core stage for NASA’s Artemis moon mission. The 212-ft core stage displays the newly added engine E2059.
