SSC is America’s largest rocket engine test complex, and manages NASA’s rocket propulsion testing. Besides rocket engine testing, SSC’s Applied Sciences Directorate uses remote sensing technology to assist in solving problems related to erosion, agriculture and other practical problems. The center is located in Hancock County near Bay St. Louis, Miss.
