And the available information focuses on the vehicle powered by the engine, the vehicle mission, and successful or failed launches, rather than the engine itself. A notable exception is the space shuttle main engine, designed and built by Rocketdyne, at that time a division of Rockwell ...

The Ion Propulsion System on NASA's Space Technology 4/Champollion Comet Rendezvous Mission The ST4/Champollion mission is designed to rendezvous with and land on the comet Tempel 1 and return data from the first-ever sampling of a comet surface. ......
and Reid Wiseman, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on the same voyage as the Artemis I mission. There’ll be no moon landing, but instead, a flyby that will take the crew within just 80 miles of the lunar surface. ...
Because of this, the engineers at Rocketdyne pursued an engine known as the RS-25 which would go on to power the space shuttle. They realized that because of the large difference between pumps, they might as well just have two preburners, one for the hydrogen pump and one for the oxygen...
How much work is done by the Moon's gravitational field as a 1005 kg meteor comes in from outer space and impacts on the Moon's surface? The space shuttle had a top orbital speed of 8000 m/s and orbited in a circular orbit appr...
When the space shuttle program ended in 2011, NASA had 15 of the reusable main engines left over and has since built one more from spare parts. Because the expendable SLS rocket will use four engines in its core stage, this means NASA presently has enough for the first four flights o...

Space junk transformed into fuel for ships The technology also uses recycled space junk, making it an environmentally aware project. Bilek said magnesium came out on top in their tests as the fuel with the highest specific impulse, and so the most fuel efficient. ...
on a pair of shuttle-era ground test engines, the engine team adapted the existing shuttle inventory to the SLS rocket’s unique operating requirements for its initial deep space missions by adding engine nozzle insulation and developing a new controller to replace the obsolete shuttle...
