#NASA #Artemis1 - Via #AerojetRocketdyne - Information on the RL-10 engine. The "old dog" that has been taught a ton of new tricks. The RL-10 engine will fire up and take the Orion Spacecraft to Lunar Orbit. TLI burn in seven minutes.

#NASA #Artemis1 - 1 min away from the perigee raise maneuver. the burn will last 30 seconds this will slightly raise the Orion's orbit and prepare for the TLI burn a little later. Burn underway this will fire the #AerojetRocketdyne #RL10 engine. Burn complete 55 min into the mission launch time was 1:47 AM EST.

Four of which will fire up to 8.8 million lbs of thrust when the Space Launch System Rocket comes to life for its planned 1:04 AM EST Liftoff tomorrow morning. These engines did propel the Space Shuttle to Earth Orbit, now retooled and improved for the Moon.
