NASA Conducts 2nd RS-25 Engine Hot Fire of 2018


NASA Video
Published on Feb 1, 2018


A 365-second hot fire test on Feb. 1, 2018, at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi marks the completion of “green run” testing, or flight certification, for all new RS-25 engine flight controllers slated for Exploration Mission-2, the first Space Launch System mission with astronauts on board. In addition to the flight controller, the Feb. 1 hot fire also marked the third test of a 3D printed pogo accumulator assembly for the RS-25 engine.

This video is available for download from NASA's Image and Video Library:

NASA TV shows coverage 4pm Eastern. IIRC they tend to fire on process rather than schedule so YMMV. The next program on NASA TV is 6pm.
