Aerojet Rocketdyne

The most powerful rocket NASA has ever built lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center on Nov. 16, ending years of delays in the debut of the Artemis Moon program.

NASA's probe slammed into a targeted asteroid on Sept. 26 to demonstrate a kinetic impact strategy as a potential means of shielding the Earth from a disastrous collision in future.

The core booster for the debut launch of NASA’s Space Launch System rocket arrived at Kennedy Space Center on April 27, representing a milestone a decade in the making.

NASA has delayed the planned Feb. 25 full-duration hot fire of the Space Launch System (SLS) core stage due to a faulty valve in the system that supplies liquid oxygen to one of the vehicle’s four Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-25 engines.

NASA has decided to repeat the static test fire of the first Space Launch System (SLS) core stage following an abbreviated burn of the vehicle’s four Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-25 engines two weeks ago.

NASA did not immediately say why the hot fire was cut off about 67 sec. after ignition.

The agreement on the all-cash transaction includes a $5 per share, pre-closing special dividends to Aerojet’s shareholders, reducing the post-dividend value of the deal to $4.6 billion.

Lockheed Martin has won a sixth prime contractor role in a U.S. hypersonic missile program.
