The aerospike was 3D-printed as a single copper piece, cooled with liquid oxygen and kerosene, and successfully hot-fire tested. Developed by Leap71, this is a new way of building engines.

A rocket engine test is a key step to check if a rocket engine works well, is reliable, and safe. Tests happen in special facilities that can handle extreme heat, high-pressure exhaust, and dangerous fuels. The engine is fired on a test stand to measure things like thrust, fuel use, combustion stability, and how long the engine lasts under conditions like a real space launch. Tests differ based on the engine type—liquid, solid, or hybrid. For liquid engines, cold fuels like liquid hydrogen and o

NASA Artemis V Moon Rocket Engine Test#4: Preparing for Crewed Missions FriendsofNASA.org: An Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-25 rocket engine (RS-25 developmental engine) completed a 500-second hot fire test on the Fred Haise Test Stand (formerly A-1 Test Stand) at the John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, on January 17, 2024, at 16:29 CST. This was the fourth hot fire test out of the twelve planned in the final round of certification testing ahead of production of an updated set of engines for NA
