Explore Lagniappe for February 2025 featuring: NASA Stennis Becomes Winter Wonderland Gator Speaks This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Gator SpeaksNASA/Stennis Welcome to February, folks! The shortest month of the year is here, but do not let its number of days fool you. The month is full of energy and is welcomed with great enthusiasm. We have dusted ourselves off from a historic snowfall in January. The Super Bowl will be played in nearby New Orleans this month. Mardi Gras season is here, which means King Cake for all! What is not to love about that? The same kind of enthusiasm welcoming February is like the energy Gator felt when reading this month’s NASA Stennis employee feature story. I invite you to read it as well. It is a reminder that bringing energy into what you do is all about genuine passion and commitment. The “get-it-done attitude” at NASA Stennis is that kind of energy. The NASA Stennis culture of meeting any challenge head-on is what has helped power space dreams for six decades and counting in Mississippi. It helps fuel the NASA Stennis federal city, where skilled people daily support the space agency and various commercial test customers that conduct work onsite. When people come together, whether it is for the Super Bowl, Mardi Gras, or to power space dreams at NASA Stennis, something extraordinary can happen. When you combine a “get-it-done attitude” and a skilled workforce like the one at NASA Stennis, it leads to being a part of something great. Enjoy the month of February, and if, in the small chance you have an extra slice, pass this Gator some King Cake!

The MPTA testing involved installing a shuttle fuel tank, a mockup of the shuttle orbiter, and the vehicle’s three-engine configuration on the stand, then firing all three engines simultaneously, as would be done during an actual launch.
