The goal is to enhance safety and increase testing capabilities, which is crucial for advancing both government and commercial space programs. These investments support the US space economy and ensure continued leadership in space exploration.
Key points
NASA must modernize rocket engine test stands to improve efficiency, safety, and capacity for future space missions.
Investments prioritize testing large thrust-level engines and integrated multi-engine systems.
Underutilized test facilities must remain available for commercial use, supporting the private space sector and optimizing public assets.
