RS-25 engines, formerly used as space shuttle main engines, line the the Space Shuttle Main Engine Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 15 flight engines used during the Space Shuttle Program have been relocated to NASA’s Stennis Space Center in southern Mississippi. The engines will be stored at Stennis for future use on NASA’s new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), which will carry NASA’s new Orion spacecraft, cargo, equipment and science experiments to space. Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne of Canoga Park, Calif., built the RS-25 engines which operated with 100 percent mission success.
