We LOVE looking at photos of engine tests. We find them dazzling ✨ A beautiful piece of machinery that resulted from years of work by mechanical/aerospace/chemical engineers, computer scientists, physicists, chemists and more! This picture captures a test firing of the RS-25 Space Shuttle Main Engine at the Stennis Space Center about 30 years ago. The RS-25 was a liquid fuel cryo rocket engine.
