Hot-fire test qualifies Orion’s Jettison Motor for NASA missions to the Moon. 
Built by Aerojet Rocketdyne, the motor for Orion’s Launch Abort System (LAS) was successfully tested by engineers at the Redstone Test Center on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, October 16.

During the third and final hot fire test, the jettison motor was fired for under two seconds in ambient temperatures to produce more than 40,000 pounds of thrust. With the series of static tests completed, Orion’s LAS jettison motor is qualified and ready for flight on the Artemis II mission with astronauts.
