J-2X Test, Control Room Monitoring
NASA – Engineers and technicians in the A-2 Test Control Center at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in southern Mississippi monitor activities during a Nov. 9 test of a next-generation J-2X rocket engine. The 500-second test marked an important step in development of an upper stage for NASA’s new heavy-lift Space Launch System. The J-2X engine is being developed for NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne of Canoga Park, Calif. Image credit: NASA/SSC
