NASA's Artemis Program Hits a Snag: Rocket Sustainer Engine Fails During Ground Test In a setback for NASA's ambitious Artemis program, a critical rocket sustainer engine has failed during a ground test, raising concerns about the project's already tight timeline. The SLS rocket's core stage is set to power the first crewed mission to the lunar surface since the Apollo era, with plans to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon by 2025. The engine failure, which occurred at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, is now under investigation, and its impact on the program's schedule remains uncertain. As the space agency works to rectify the issue, it will be under intense scrutiny to ensure that the Artemis program stays on track and meets its ambitious goals.
