Water flowing out. Data flowing in.
A water system activation at the Thad Cochran Test Stand (B-2) on Jan. 30 at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, helped capture critical data to support testing a new SLS (Space Launch System) stage expected to fly on the Artemis IV mission.
The activation milestone tested new cooling systems that were added for the future Green Run test series of NASA's exploration upper stage (EUS). The more powerful upper stage is a four-engine liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen in-space stage for the evolved Block 1B version of SLS.
