SPACE FLIGHT 2011 (interactive discussion)

[Entangled Proton]

On November 17, 2011 Orbital, Aerojet and the NASA Stennis Space Center conducted another successfully acceptance hot fire test of an AJ26 flight engine. The test gauged the engine's performance to ensure its operation during an actual launch. The engine will now go to the Wallops Island Flight Facility launch site in Virginia where it will be integrated with the Taurus II first-stage core, as a main engine assembly. There are currently three first-stage core structures at Wallops Island.
