Our entry is the RS-25 Engine Nozzles and components for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) program. Aerojet Rocketdyne is the prime contractor for the flight-proven, high-performance RS-25 engines used to propel America’s next-generation heavy-lift launch vehicle, NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS). Four RS-25 engines located at the bottom of the core stage will power the rocket on its eight and a half minute climb to space with more than 2 million pounds of thrust. The Nozzles that MTM manufactures are part of a new generation of RS-25 engines for when the 16 engines remaining from the Space Shuttle program are used. These engines are targeting a 30% cost reduction from the engines that flew on the Space Shuttle and will feature the latest in advanced manufacturing techniques, including 3-D printing.
