Last month, the center marked a milestone for testing a new SLS (Space Launch System) rocket stage to fly on future This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up missions to the Moon and beyond. Crews safely lifted and installed the interstage simulator component that will be used for future testing of NASA’s exploration upper stage on the B-2 side of the Thad Cochran Test Stand. Why does this matter? When the new upper stage is ready to fly following testing at NASA Stennis, it will allow NASA to send astronauts and larger payloads to the Moon on a single mission. It is expected to fly on Artemis IV when astronauts will live and work in humanity’s first lunar space station, Gateway. How exciting! This mission will make possible new opportunities for science and preparation for human missions to Mars. The massive interstage simulator component lifted and installed at NASA Stennis is 103 tons, or 206,000 pounds. When you learn about the exploration upper stage, and how it functions, it makes sense. The upper stage is powered by four engines and provides more than 97,000 pounds of thrust. Speaking of missions to the Moon, have you ever asked yourself why are we returning to the Moon? A few goals NASA has set for Artemis missions include: preparing for future exploration missions deeper into space – including Mars – by developing and proving new technologies and capabilities, while learning how to live and operate on the lunar surface; finding and using water and other critical resources needed for long-term exploration; and investigating the Moon’s mysteries to learn more about Earth and the universe for the benefit of all. These long-term plans build on more than 50 years of NASA’s experience and are reigniting everyone’s passion for discovery. I believe it because the grandgators have been talking NASA nonstop lately. All of this culminates with inspiring the Artemis Generation and encouraging young people to pursue studies and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Throughout the month of October, NASA Stennis representatives have been doing just that, sharing the cool ways NASA explores, innovates, and inspires all of humanity and the Artemis Generation. Such stops have included Congressman Bennie Thompson’s College and Career Fair in Greenville, Mississippi, located in the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta area, bordering the state of Arkansas; Cruisin’ the Coast, where car enthusiasts from over 37 states and Canada drive to the Mississippi Gulf Coast annually; and various college and career fairs throughout Pearl River County and Hancock County, areas where many NASA Stennis employees live. October indeed was a cool month, and November has started off that way, too. NASA Stennis representatives participated in the NAS Pensacola Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show Nov. 1-2, one of Pensacola’s largest events with more than 150,000 in attendance. It marked just the fifth time in history that the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and U.S. Navy Blue Angels have flown together.

The support structures arrived from NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans via the unique NASA Stennis seven-and-a-half-mile canal system in 2023. Since then, crews have prepared the structures, which will align with the EUS unit, for installation. In addition to helping secure the unit in place during hot ***** testing, the umbilical support structures are where the command, control, and data electrical connections are mated to connect the ground systems to the vehicle systems, as well as most the commodity connections, such as liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, hydrogen vent, helium bottle fill pressure, and purges. Prior to its initial flight, the EUS unit will undergo a series of Green Run tests at NASA Stennis to ensure all systems are ready to go. The test series will culminate with a hot ***** of the stage’s four RL10 engines, made by lead SLS engines contractor L3 Harris. The new upper stage will enable NASA to carry larger payloads on Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond.
